While this issue is rare on modern systems, some users may still encounter a Visual C++ runtime error when launching a Slate Digital plugin. This is usually caused by a broken or outdated installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (2015).
🛠️ How to Fix the Error
Reinstall the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributables manually:
- 🧱 Download from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145#
- Install both:
-
vc_redist.x64.exe
(64-bit) -
vc_redist.x86.exe
(32-bit)
-
- ❗ When prompted with Repair or Uninstall, choose Uninstall, then run the .exe again to perform a fresh install.
⏳ Heads-up: The installer may appear to freeze at the end. Please allow it to finish, as it can take up to 1–2 hours in rare cases.
