Newbie for this type of install,

I am using a win 7 home 64 bit
xampp version 7.1.9
installed in C:/xampp
This is the copy of what the control panel says before the error (missing.dll file):

api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is part og the Visual C++ Redistributable package, you want the x86 (32bit) version which you can get here;

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... 24fa6=True

Installing this redistributable package should remove this error. If you're on 64bit Windows it doesn't hurt to install both 32 & 64 bit (x86 & x64) packages.

So shocked and yet happy to have a response. Thank you for that gsmith!
Stoaked, I am ! I'll download that right now.

It seems that even though I now have that on my system and xampp is not loading (isn't it supposed to be a webdesign type of interface for building a site offline before uploading it?) Do I need to uninstall xampp and reinstall??

No. Its just a webserver, not a GUI or similar for webdesign. You are looking for Dreamweaver or similar instead.
