I don't know about this one, maybe someone else has some advice?

These errors usually show up when you don't have Visual Studio installed and
your Windows box is missing the C/C++ runtime.

You should be able to fix this either by installing VS or the Visual C++
Redistributable Package. Keep in mind though that what's being reported
missing is the C runtime version 7.1, which is very dated (2003). I don't
know if the latest C++ runtime includes dll's for that version.
