Has anyone encountered this issue when launching the software?

The only fix I've found so far is to uninstall and reinstall FreeCAD. Is there a better way to fix this? I wish the error message was more descriptive...

Edit: It seems that I can only launch FreeCAD by ticking the "Launch FreeCAD" checkbox in the initial installation wizard. All subsequent attempts to launch FreeCAD seem to fail. I can uninstall the software without removing my user preferences, so it's not terrible, but having to reinstall the software every time I want to close and reopen the software is a bit... undesirable.

Edit2: If it helps narrow things down, I'm on a Windows 10 machine.

Seems to me like an issue with the Visual C++ 2013 installation.

Try updating that and see if it helps:
