Running Win 7. If the computer has been turned off then on, Bootstrap Builder will not load. Error message is : api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing. Reinstall program. Somewhat frustrating.

It looks like your runtime libraries are missing for Windows 7. What you need to do is manually install these, then reboot and you should be able to install the program again.

Step 1:
Using Internet Explorer, go to this URL and run the Fix-It too.

Step 2: Re-install Bootstrap Builder

If this fixes the issue, great! If not, then we need to manually re-install the libraries.

No Joy! Microsoft trouble shooter finds no problem.
On reboot BB fails to start.
Reloading redistrib files is pointless. Download from Microsoft library is Visual C++ 2015 14.0.24212. BB fails to start on reboot.
Re-install BB. BB overwrites with 14.0.24215. Fails to start on reboot.
Note: program is installed in the default directory to avoid any relocation problems.
