Download latest SAM.exe version - Error Message: VCRUNTIME140_1.dll not found

Dear SAM Team,

After downloading the program, even several times, I was not able to start the program because of the following sam.exe System error: "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."   .... but it didn't! Please advise what to do. Thanks!

Hi Carlos,

Please see this post for a workaround solution:

sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/3265

I have also added that information to the installation instructions to the Download page: sam.nrel.gov/download.html .

Best regards,
Paul.

Thanks, Paul!

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Best regards,
