Error with missing api-ms-crt dll | Substance 3D Painter

Error with missing api-ms-crt dll

Substance 3D Painter cannot start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.
This is most likely because the update KB2999226 which is part of the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 failed to install.

After the restart repeat the steps above again until no more updates are available.
