Python 3.8.5

[Joseph Milroy Felix Moraes (Moraes)]

Good day,

I keep getting this error message when trying to open Python 3.8.5 on my computer windows 7 , 64 bit.

---------------------------
python.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK 
---------------------------

kindly assist

Regards,
Milroy
