[New-bugs-announce] [issue39930] Embedded installer for Python 3.7.7 missing vcruntime140.dll

[Russell Keith-Magee]

New submission from Russell Keith-Magee <russell at keith-magee.com>:

The Windows python-3.7.7-embed-amd64.zip installer (released Mar 11 2020) appears to be missing vcruntime140.dll. As a result, running the python.exe or pythonw.exe included in that installer fails with a system error notifying you of the missing DLL.

The 3.7.6 embedded install included this file.
