Installation problem

I’m reinstalling Audacity on Windows 7. I get an error message on start upThe program can’t start because api-ms-win-runtime-|1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.

We’ll I also got this when installing previously on my old Windows. I have been using the portable version because of this error message. that works fine for me. Just wondering. Any advantage to using this version over the portable?
