Windows Runtime Packages
Missing a DLL file? Don't download individual files. Install the official runtime package instead - it's the proper fix that actually works.
Why You Should Use These Instead of Individual DLLs
- DLLs have dependencies on other DLLs - the runtime installs them all correctly
- Registers components properly in Windows
- Places files in the correct system locations
- Signed by Microsoft - guaranteed authentic
