Hi all,

As I try to dowload and open a powerpoint on my laptop, I get the error message

POWERPNT.EXE - System Error

The program can´t start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. 

 

Can someone tell me what that means what is that program how do I uninstall and then reintall it?

Regards.
