This error occurs due to missing Visual C++ runtime dependencies. The app requires specific DLL files provided by the Visual C++ Redistributable package.

    1. On Windows, go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

    2. Look for entries like "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable" (x64/x86). If missing, install them via the link above.

  3. Re-run the GLKVM app installer.
