This is a fresh Windows install inside a virtual machine and a fresh install of the latest Anki version (25.07.1). Upon starting the new launcher, I get this error. It is fixed by installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (most already have it installed on their systems because some other application uses it). I guess Anki should install this dependency if not present.
I happen to have a bit of experience dealing with old windows systems without any installs.
This should make it so everything will work as far back as LTSC19, which is about the oldest windows that current versions of rust support (ignoring tier 3 targets).
