[Fix] vcruntime140.dll is Missing from Your Computer

WampServer displays an icon with three different colors on the system tray to indicate the running status of the virtual server on your computer. The red icon means the server is not running, and green shows that it is running without any issue.

But, the orange icon tells about the minor problems that should be fixed to run your server successfully. So, in this tutorial, I am going to explain the procedure to solve a big problem that most people face while installing WampServer on Windows PC.

WAMP is a Windows web development environment that allows you to create web-based applications with Apache2, PHP, and MySql. PHP is a server-side scripting which stands for Hypertext Preprocessor. As like HTML, you can’t develop your PHP website with your naked windows computer. It needs a server to run, and WampServer does that.
