The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing while starting Apache server on my computer

Question

In order to quickly set up my PHP/Perl development environment, I installed xampp. Specifically, I attempted to install using: xampp-win32-7.0.1-0-VC14-installer.

When I started the program, I ran into an error related to a dll file. I also tried the suggestions in this question that sounded like fixes to the same problem.

The problem is still not fixed after trying the above.
