While TapeTrack automatically installs the Visual C++ Redistributable Package during normal installation, sometimes security software may block the installation without providing any notifications to the user.

If you are presented with an error referencing a missing .dll file while trying to start TapeTrack software, manually installing the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 - 2022 Runtime package will install the missing .dll files.
