I am facing this .dll library missing error:
This programme can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing. Try to reinstall this.
When I try to open an Microsoft Office file.
How do I solve that?
dll file from the working computer and then paste it to the problem computer. Here's how you can find the dll file: On the keyboard of the working computer, press the Windows logo key and E at the same time to bring up the File Explorer. Go to C:WindowsSystem32, then type api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.
On the keyboard of the working computer, press the Windows logo key and E at the same time to bring up the File Explorer. Go to C:WindowsSystem32, then type api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll and press Enter. If it shows no results, go to C:WindowsSysWOW64 instead and search api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll again.
Restart your PC after repairing the corrupt files and check if the error ‘api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing’ persists. If unfortunately, all the previous methods fail to help, you can copy the api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll file from a PC that runs the same Windows system as yours.
If you find some DLL files are missing, you can fix it rather easily with DLL.file.com (this website is built by the community) or reinstall this DLL file automatically with DLL.files App . Copy api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll into the Search box, and click the Search DLL file button. Select the DLL file.
Downloaded api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll are automatically saved in the Downloads folder. This folder is usually located on the drive where Windows is installed (for example, C: \ Users \ username \ Downloads).
The default solution is to install KB2999226 of Microsoft.
While the answer from alireza is correct, it has one gotcha:
You can't install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist (runtime) unless you have Windows Update KB2999226 installed (at least on Windows 7 64-bit SP1).
