You can have multiple VS C++ runtime libraries installed on the same machine with no problems, right? Otherwise all older C++ apps would just fail on a clean install. So as DiapDealer suggested, please try installing the 2013 C++ runtime but do not delete the newer 2015 one.

Please let us know if that fixes the issue. Based on what BetterRed said, pehaps the newest 2015 runtime library is better at backwards compatibility thereby allowing many older C++ runtime libraries to now be deleted. That is just a wag, but it might help explain things if true.
