Game won't run, Redist 2015 problem

Whenever I want to run the game it says that it's missing a component, the Redist 2015. Thing is I have installed the latest version. So I deleted it and wanted to install from the game files. Did that and well... it still doesn't work. It still says it's missing a component and when I confirm I want to install it AGAIN it suddenly recognizes that it's indeed installed and the only option left for me is to uninstall. And so it does it every time I want to launch the game. Anyone else having this problem? Any solution?

Windows 7, both x86 and x64 does the same

Hey MajorMolesto,

By any chance, did you download the game via the app?

Also are you using a x86(32bit) or x64(64bit) operating system?

I downloaded the game via https://dasius.itch.io/my-little-blacksmith-shop

I'm using x64 OS, tried both version of the game, I have both version of Runtime installed as well




Edit: Derp, no, not the app, direct links.

Now I tried downloading through the app, same thing. Still wants to install prerequisites but when I click ok the only option left for me is "uninstall". It's so frustrating, I really wanted to play this.

I've been fighting with it all day, reinstalled all of my C++ Redists, abused the living shit out of Dependency Walker, installed some missing *.dll files, tried running as admin, in compatibility mode, both versions of the game, it's still the same, I have no idea what else could I possibly do.



Geezus fookin Christ... nine hours. NINE HOURS! But it's finally working. Apparently I needed to download and manually install 20 x64 dll files into system32 folder.
