Current Behavior

I have a fresh install of Windows 11. I simply downloaded the built version of this app from the releases page. The latest three release versions (I did not test/check beyond latest three versions) of this app on my system were giving me the following error.

On consulting the issue with Cursor and other LLM AI agents. I learned that it requires some DLLs to function correctly, which were not installed on my system. I installed the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributor from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version (x64 version). Post that, this app works fine for me.

I am creating this issue for documentation purposes so that future contributors who experience similar issues can find this and help themselves.
