asked Sep 24, 2016 in Studio One 3 by yujaikim (180 points)
I formatted my PC and reinstalled Windows 7. But after reinstalling Studio One 3, every time I try to open the program, it keeps on saying that there is no api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll, and the program won't open. This is frustrating considering before the formatting, the program was working properly.

Same problem here, although I installed the missing .dll and reinstalled Studio One 3 more than once, cannot solve the problem. If anyone knows the nswer please let me know. Presonus should have given some answer to this thread though...

Stay away from this product and save your valuable time and efforts. You simply will not be able to run the software, even your PC has all updates and has a genuine copy of software. The customer support advice that issue is related to my personal PC, even that is not the case at all, considering the field I'm working in. This turn to be the poorest outline on a purchased software ever from me for the past 2 decades.

Hope this will help everyone who is having trouble with Studio One 3. I was experiencing the same issue as everybody and I found a way to fix the, "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll" missing error. When you go to download Studio One 3

Step #1 Go to the downloads page in your account. Scroll down to "view previous versions" and select it.

Step #1

Step #2 Choose verion 3.2.2 and hit ok.

Step #2

Step #3 Select the vervion you wish to download, Windows x86, windows x64, and Mac OSX X.X.XStep #3

Make sure you know which version of Windows you have installed.

Step #4 On your computer, go to your downloads folder.

Step #4

Step #5 Right click on "PreSonus+Studio+One+3 Installer (x64).exe" and run as Administrator. Follow the prompts for installation and wait for it to finish.

Step #6 Run the software and sign-in to your account to connect your license to your account and you're good  to go.

Hope this helps anyone with this issue past, present, and future.coolsad

Hi

I had the same problem but solved it by going to sound properties and changing the line input to soundcard in stead of items i had installed.

worked for me
