Cannot start Dolphin, help me!

[IOwnALego111]

Hello guys, it's my first here. I've used different emulators for Nintendo 64, Gameboy, NES. So I'm not a noob in these things, haha.

Anyways, back to the point. I used to play a lot Sims 2 for XBOX, but my console broke. Rest in peace XBOX Console 2001 - 2015.       So I tried to get a good emulator for XBOX, no luck.. So I tried Gamecube and PS2 emulatos, but I get the same the exact same error message when I try to start the program in both of them, like this: "The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". So then I went to look for that same exact DLL File for download, so I did, and pasted it in the Dolphin emulator and to the other PS2 Emulator, both of them then give me a different error message. So I ran out of ideas. The only possible problem I thought was either my computer was into some weird shit virus I don't know OR there's a problem with my Microsoft Visual C++ thing I don't know. Please help to fix it! I really miss the Sims 2

Don't do that. There are a lot of sites that ship viruses with those DLLs or are just broken.

If you installed 5.0 stable, the runtimes will be installed, if you're using a development release, there is a link on the top of the development releases that gives you the runtime installer.

The only thing is that I can't open it. Does it have to do with the Visual C++?

Is your computer up-to-date?
