It's ridiculous that Windows these days silently fails if it can't find a DLL. Instead of a friendly error message saying "Hey idiot, you don't have VCRUNTIME666 installed!", I have to break out Procmon or dive into Registry to see what's going on.

I guess this has something to do with all the "Download missing DLL here" malware nests, good that we granted Google monopoly in search so they can handle such ugly cases...
