Steam - debug build of game failing to start

What could cause these errors when starting the debug build on another machine?  The release build fails to run too.

Failed to find these dll's;

  • MSVCP140D
  • VCRUNTIME140D
  • VCRUNTIME140_1D
  • ucrtbased

I've installed C++ redistributables as found on the learn page.  And steam is installing them anyway :huh:

From what I can gather, to run a C++ debug build you need the debug DLL's which there is no redistributable for.  You either need to install Visual Studio on that machine or find the DLL's and export them with that project.

I see of lot of information on the web saying you not allowed to redistribute the debug DLL's.  I don't know why considering you can just download visual studio and get them anyway.  So I guess I'll just make it that if anyone wants to run the debug build they need to install visual studio.
