Trouble installing Cura 3.3

[Gaius_Marius 0]

Hello,

For whatever reason I can get older versions of Cura (2.5 I think) to run on my laptop, but not any of the newer versions.  I always get this message when i try to run it after downloading and installing.  I tried redownloading it, uninstalling and reinstalling, but no cigar.  I also tried with 3.2 and the 3.4 beta with the same issue.  I'm running a fully updated version of windows 7 right now.  If anyone else had this problem or has any ideas on how to fix this I'd appreciate it a lot.  Thank you!

This problem can generally be solved by installing (or reinstalling) the Universal C Runtime. Check https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows to find the proper download link for your OS.

I attempted a download from your link for the 64 bit windows 7 version and got a message instead saying "This update is not applicable to your computer", despite it being for the correct OS and bit version.

Are you running Windows 7 Service Pack 1?

I'm not sure how to check service pack but here's a screenshot of what I'm running.  

Windows 7, yes.

It may be because it took me to what appeared to be an update page and I literally just updated before posting this question?  That was one of the first recommendations I got when I tried to research this issue.

Okay just found out I don't have SP1 installed.  Doing that right now.

Got it figured out after SP1 was installed.  Thanks for the links.
