My desktop was 10 yrs old, slow and ran into a few problems running programs. So, to avoid not being able to run TT this year I bought a Dell with Win 11, etc. AND TT STILL WOULDN'T INSTALL due to a problem with missing the MSV....dll file. So back to TThelp site, enter the offending error and found this thread. It was fixed after installing the x86 version of the VC++ Redistributable Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 as commented by JSTL.
Bothersome that TurboTax doesn't do their homework (again) for the end user to fix an obvious issue with the installation. I had a similar experience a few years ago with the installation for which a known issue could have, no should have been cleaned up before distribution.
