This dll might be provided by this Windows update from October 2015: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows
Otherwise I saw a few posts saying that installing the correct Visual C++ runtime will fix it. I'd guess 2012 or newer if this is the case.

Will test solutions using an outdated win7 image soon

Will add logic to prompt to install that update for systems lacking it. This will include a warning that the system is SEVERELY outdated.

Verified that Windows update KB2999226 is the only thing required for Python 3.7 w/ Visual C++ Runtime 2017 to run. This was done using a bare install using the latest official Windows 7 SP1 install media from 2011. Will add logic to prompt to install that update for systems lacking it. This will include a warning that the system is **SEVERELY** outdated.
