hi guys tried downloading kodi onto my laptop it downloaded but when i tried to open it i got this message api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing uninstalled tried again same message i am a total noob ao any help would be appreciated
 
Stupid question first, are you sure you downloaded the correct version for your machine?

Secondly, is this error occurring when when you are installing, or it allows you to install, then when you try opening it, you get the error?

Where did you get the download from?

What sort of machine are you trying to use?

Are you downloading from here >> https://kodi.tv/download

yes downloaded from kodi site and yes it it installs then message appears when opening,my machine is a lenovo E545 thinkpad,i have win 7 home premium
 
Google api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing and you should find the fix, it relates to a missing component in c++ library
 
thanks span got kodi 16 up and running,also put apollo on now its fine been watching movies,tv and sport the only thing is after i put apollo when i open kodi it opens up as apollo so if i have any problems with kodi i cant find anyway of getting back to kodi settings or anything is this how it should work like i say i am a noob with this stuff
 
when i open kodi the apollo screen comes up then there is a screen with a banner across it with different letters on it i click on the banner then it takes me to the video addons but again nowhere is there any settings there is nothing with any settings buttons i have right and left clicked all over it lol and nothing
 
You can install something called ares wizard in that there is something called fresh start what it does is takes the build off and resets kodi back to its normal features I find the best build at the moment is family build on paradox plus you can have paid iptv with them £9 a month I've got it in my bedroom tried all different builds and found this one to be the best one at the moment
 
as above but i put my own build on . Exodus, elysium, covenant, uk turks , bob, maverick tv and genesis reborn works a treat
 
Paradox is good aswell best thing to do is try all different builds see which one you prefer as I prefer paradox as they do paid iptv for £9 a month and get vod on it all ppv and sly so can't complain but that's my preference
 
Noobsandnerds is a good repo for stuff,so is super repo,problem some get is you need f4mstester and shani sit e shut down,but you can get it tada, use superrepo download the one for kodi 17,but also download the one for jarvis [kodi 16] 4fmtester is in there which allows you to download stream hub........ a work around for hard installs,as had problem on one pc with a OCZ ssd,it just didnt like it, install kodi on a 4gb usb,just add the shorcut icon from usb to destob/laptop,which ever one you plug it into it will run from the usb....for sum reason either just me but having problem with Elysium and Series Addicts keep getting errors for past couple of days


Ps have tried Kodi 18 leia 64 bit,dont it is causing lots of problems
 
will also add if you new to kodi, change the skin to Confluence its the most easiest to use, from kodi main screen, cog top left, interface ,skin on Right menu ,Get more,select confluence
