winpython: Failure to start

untitled

Seems like some .dlls are missing from distribution. Namely:

api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

This is the problem reported on another user behalf, so he has no chance to like troubleshoot it, because it is his first Python experience.

I’d prefer builds with https://mingwpy.github.io/

@stonebig In that case, if LoadLibrary("ucrtbase.dll") fails, you know the machine isn’t up to date. That’s the easiest way to see whether the correct CRT is installed.
