python-list doesn't send attachments. Please do your best to
paraphrase error messages that can't be pasted as plain text.

I hope you didn't download a system DLL from some arbitrary website,
which could contain malware. Only get Windows updates from Microsoft.

You didn't need the full C++ redistributable. If it's an error due to
the Universal C runtime, then you should install KB3118401 for your
version of Windows, which I presume is x64 Windows 8.1.
