CxxFrameHandler4 could not be located

Hi,

I have an Issue when launching Dolphin 5.0 11667 as well as several older builds.

Somehow __CxxFramehandler4 could not be located.
Apparently it has something to do with Visual C++, according to Google, but I did install Visual C++ 2019 (as well as 2017 and 2015) x64 as instructed on the download page.
So I don't really have an idea whats going on.
Especially, since the stable 5.0 from the download page works.

Just to double check:
- You've installed the latest x64 version "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019." from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads - the x86 version isn't correct
- You've got all the latest windows updates
- You've not got any extra .dlls in the dolphin folder (maybe download a new copy, extract to a new folder and run that to make sure?), or *ever* manually copied any dlls into any windows folders (maybe from other attempts at fixing "missing dll" errors?), as you should _never_ do that as it completely breaks windows' dll management stuff (and opens you to malware, as dlls could contain anything, so it's like running a random .exe off the internet)

Perhaps your windows install has got messed up somehow? You can use the "DSIM" and "SFC" tools to double check this - instructions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

If that found anything, try again? You might need to re-install the "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019." again afterwards.

Got it.

VCRuntime140_1.dll in the system32 folder was somehow "corrupted" or not working correctly .... no idea.
A reinstall of Visual C++ x86 fixed it.

Thanks.
