CPPCheck and latest 1.71 version


I normally use CPPCheck to verify the code sanity in my c++ projects. Few days back I tried to update to latest from 1.69 version. I uninstalled 1.69, and installed latest 1.71 from http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net. But when attempting to run the application, it says MSVCP140.dll missing.

Here is how I fixed it, and thought this blog post might help others who also have similar issue.
This dll belongs to MS Visual C++ as the name in the dll suggests. Downloading Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, even though you dont use 2015 version, should fix this missing dll issue. It can be downloaded and installed from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=48145


Hope this helps.
