Please what can I do?
The implementation of Python that you're using is written in C and relies on the C runtime library to provide a measure of cross-platform portability. The latest C runtime from Microsoft is called the "Universal CRT". It's an operating system component. As such, you should already have ucrtbase.dll and all of the API set DLLs, such as api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll, assuming your system is up to date via Windows Update. If for some reason your system doesn't have this update, you can manually download and install it from the following link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50410 Install either "Windows8.1-KB3118401-x64.msu" (64-bit) or "Windows8.1-KB3118401-x86.msu" (32-bit), depending on whether your version of Windows is 64-bit or 32-bit. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
