Error in Lauching unity 2017.3.0
Hi,I am facing problem with unity latest version 2017.3.0.When I open unity I am getting following message. "The Program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-math-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"
Best to just reinstall unity. Try closing other programs while it is installing and restart the PC before reinstalling.

I did recently a new instalation of windows 8, and i got the same error. The problem is that there is an universal C runtime that is native from windows 10 and almost all apps now use it. there are various solutions that i found, and im still testing but there are :
-Download all updates from windows update! Found that microsoft release an update that installs those mimssing DLL for windows 8, 8.1,7,server and everything.
-Manually install those updates See this >> https://www.microsoft.com/pt-br/download/details.aspx?id=48234
-Install the full SDK I will be testing this method, because my windows 8 was not updated fully and i need this fix fast! But it is recomended to do the steps above, they will fix in no time! link for the SDK https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk
EDIT: It did work the update, so i do not need to install the full windows 10 sdk, BUT, i got a MSVCP120.dll problem after, this is caused because i installed a several times unity, and it has corrupted the Visual C++ 2013 redistributable package (or vcredist package if you know its name), so i unninstall all the "Microsoft visual c++ 2013 redistributables" and launched unity installer again, and it reinstalled everything missing and it worked. FINALLY! Good luck XD
