I ran into this recently and after some tracing found that what was missing was MSVCP120.dll. This DLL is provided by the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Runtime. I found that on my machine the x86 flavor was installed, but the x64 flavor was not. I got it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 and installed it and the issue went away.

Thanks for this tip ptdamore! I had the same issue as Isaac435 and this cleaned it up for me.
