Missing dll on startup

[David]

We've heard from several people that they've problems starting AnyRail, and get a message that api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll is missing.

To get AnyRail 6 running on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or 8, you need all the latest updates, and especially:

You should have no problems at all on Windows 10.

Addendum December 2019:

The above link still works, but it seems the links in the Microsoft article no longer work.


The missing dll is part of a Microsoft update, KB2999226.
It's a recommended update. You can try to trigger this update through Windows Update (from the Windows Settings).


If you're not successful, you may have more luck using this link:

Or this one for 32 bit Windows:
