2. Search for “Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015”.

3. Select the language you prefer and click on the download button.

4. You will be presented with two files: `vc_redist.x64.exe` for 64-bit systems and `vc_redist.x86.exe` for 32-bit systems. Choose the one that matches your system’s architecture.

5. Once the file is downloaded, run the executable and follow the installation instructions.
