Problem description

When attempting to execute the 64-bit Windows portable distribution, upon unzipping the directory structure and running bin/freecad.exe, I get System Error The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer...

I have tried starting execution from the main directory and from the bin directory.

• Windows 7 Professional SP1
• Intel i7-2600K, 16GB RAM

Full version info

Unable to open application.

Subproject(s) affected?

None

Anything else?

I assume the installer will work, but wanted to report this before I try the installer, since that may make the issue unreproducable in the future.
