Tried registering the DLL myself, got an error. This is absurd, I don't want to have to reinstall windows 7 from a CD, then update to SP1, then install updates after that, and then lose everything for nothing anyway. Infuriating.
You must not mess with dll files manually, ever. In theory it works, but since the windows dll system is screwed up, it just won't work.
The 1st hit on google about the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is:

Did you try installing that update? And if that doesn't work, which might be, because it's just an update, try:

If one of those works, can you report back, so the FAQ can be updated? All the developers have the full Visual Studio installed, which should include this.
