Hello,


i'm totally new with python (and coding in general), i installed it on w7 64b and when i tried to launch it, it's telling to me "python can't start api ms crt runtime l1 1 0 dll" i installed the windows patch to try to fix it but nothing happens, someone got the solutions?

Sounds like your windows OS is corrupted, at least the current session. Try rebooting.

Have you tried these first?

The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing
Problem
When you start SmartFTP you get the following error message:
The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.
The problem is that the KB2999226 (Universal CRT) which is part of the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 failed to install.
Solution

1. Install Windows Updates:
   Go to Start - Control Panel - Windows Update
   Check for updates
   Install all available updates.
   After the updates are installed, restart your computer.
   After the restart repeat the steps above again until no more updates are available.
    
   
2. Download the Visual C++ Redistributable:
   
   For Windows 64-bit
   Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (64-bit)
   For Windows 32-bit
   Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (32-bit) 
   
   
3. Run the vc_redist.x64.exe (64-bit) or vc_redist.x86.exe (32-bit) and select Uninstall
   
4. Run the .exe again and select Install

Hello,

Thank you for your answer both of you, but it's not working. I tried rebooting multiple time, no effect and after i tried the second solution but when i launched my windows update with the link or in the control panel it never ends, i let turn during all  the night and nothing happens so i tried several to follows the rest, but it was no fixing the problem, i can't launch python 32 or 64 bit and i don't know what to do now... but i really need to use it.

Hello!
I'd recommend you Anaconda. It comes with python in it in addition with many Python 3th party libraries.
