purchased/downloaded/installed 12 hours ago from a large online retailer. maybe that copy is "old".
(I did not monitor where the software was actually downloaded from.)
went thru the Intuit troubleshooting steps with no success.
sfc /scannow and dism reported no problems.
80+ games had no issues with my copy of vc redist 2015.
12 hrs later, investigated further, saw the many MSVCP140.dll errors
so tried the repair of both x86 and x64 versions.
the windows repair DID have a problem with x64 copy.
windows repaired it with its version and the program now works.
(do not know about the 80+games)
