Hi P J Fig,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Could you give us the error message or the screenshot about the missing MSVC files?
Firstly, please go to Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features>Uninstall or change a program to select all the Visual C++ Redistributable package, Right click "change">"Repair" as below:

Then you can tell us the missing MSVC dll files version number, we can help you do a research to find out which packages corrupted or didn't install.
Best Regards,
