| Several people have asked on python-list why they are running into these errors. Python 3.6.0 can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing. The solution is to install KB 2999226 "Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows". https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows Propose to add this as a Windows FAQ. | ||

| Is this only a problem with 3.6.0 or >= 3.6.0? | ||

| This is a problem with 3.5 and later running on Windows 8.1 or earlier without all Windows Updates being installed. It can happen for two reasons: * not using the official installer (most common) * random failure in the official installer (rare) Installing KB2999226 is a good start, though it will likely trigger another Windows Update to get the latest version. Windows 10 is not affected. I'm in favor of adding this to the FAQ. | ||

| The FAQ could instead link to the more recent update, KB3118401. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3118401/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows |
