On Windows, some SDK tools such as mksdcard.exe require Microsoft Visual C++ runtime 2015-2019. Some download links can be found here.

Answer 2

According to Subaru answer,some SDK tools such as mksdcard.exe require Microsoft Visual C++ runtime. So go to your System properties and check your System type:

Then based on your system type,(for me it was x64) download/update the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 from the link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

After installing Microsoft Visual C++, my problem was fixed. All the best.
