Hello! I Cannot run Android Studio , says "MSVCP90.dll is missing", I added it and tried a few times , but no change.

I use Lenovo Z50-70, running windows 8.1, I try to run Android studio after the download, but it fails , I get the message ""The program cannot start because MSVCP90.dll is missing from your computer. I downloaded that MSV...90.dll and installed on my computer , ( I suppose I did it correctly) and re-downloaded the application a few times , restarted my laptop ,but still i get the same message. How can i fix this problem ? Thanks

Hey, if you are adding dll's your self, you have to care if you have 64 bit or 32 bit. Maybe you just added the dll just for 32 bit (Windows/System32). In 64 Bit the right folder is Winows/SysWOW64. Maybe check both these folders again(no problem if you add it in both folders).

I am getting the same message on widows 10. I have the 64 bit version and installed the correct one. Should I install the 32 bit version instead?
