MuseScore3 won't open after installation
I have downloaded and installed four separate times, each time I get the following after installing and clicking to open (picture attached).
Had to revert to MuseScore2.1.
Any idea how I can fix? I tried the "Repair" option, the result is no different.
Using an HP Pavilion, Intel Core i3, no other major issues with this machine. Thanks.

You need to install some MSVC Runtime stuff, see https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Thanks for your reply. I had recently "refreshed" my computer, so I actually forgot that I would need to do Windows Update before anything else. I may also need the C++ stuff but I have other steps to do first, and need real wi-fi in order to do so. Will let you know how I get through.
In the meantime, also consider moving from 2.1 to 2.3.2; You're missing out on hundreds of bugfixes for 2.x
Resolved, FINALLY.
I realized that the problem was that after doing a "Refresh My PC" I hadn't updated EVERYTHING.
Once I made sure I had all the windows updates, all the Visual C++, and so on, then I was able to open MuseScore3 (also, Audacity which was missing a different .dll file).
Thank you for the advice, and Yay!!!
