Hello Folks!
Did a fresh win 10 -64 installation on another computer and installed the latest version of SAWStudio64_v2_3.
When I started SAW, the program asked for vcruntime140.dll.
Did all the updates that were available and restarted, I also ran sfc/ scannow but the same problem.
This is happening right now.

Looks like you need to install the Visual C++ redististributables package as described here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answe ... g-in-windo
Not sure why SAW would need this - I thought it was all assembly language. A plugin, perhaps? Or maybe the assembly language calls out to utility code from this DLL...
Hope this helps,
John

Hurray, yes it was C++. Thanks so much for the help. SAW is up and running.

IIRC SAW's audio processing engine is assembly language, but the GUI (and other stuff?), I think, use higher-level code. This is all above my pay grade, though, so that's all I got.

That is what I meant by "calling utility code in the dll" Probably should have been more clear.
