I package my projects with the ue4-4.24.2 source build and on my PC it runs perfectly fine… On my laptop it returns tis missing the VCRUNTIME140_1.dll file to execute the code. Which is confusing because when i use the version from the Epic games launcher and not the source compiled version it works…

I found a work around for the problem. Simply go to a website where you can download .dll files and download the VCRUNTIME140_1.dll file. Put it into your folder of your packaged game and the problem should be gone.

Packaged Project has missing VCRUNTIME140_1.dll
