At the startup there is at least 16 warning windows to click: Eg. Could not be loaded: DSP_DLL_35_x64_vc12.dll Seems that mfc120.dll is not found. Where it is gone and why
@JJ_Kola Try downloading the x64 Visual C++ Redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2013 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2013-vc-120
I don't know why the file is missing, but it is possible something was deleted by an antivirus software. Are you using one?
Thanks. This or sfc /scannow did help😎

After EXHAUSTING hours and hours...I can say I have the EXACT SOLUTION to everyone's Visual c++ 2013 refusal to install and preventing Acid to setup.
You MUST only have MS Visual C++ 2013 x64 AND x86 versions 12.0.30501 installed in your Windows. ANY other versions have to go for 2013 c++'s(uninstall them all if different)...if you need to download versions 12.0.30501...here is a link:

install both x86 and x64 for 30501. Like I said-for 2013, there should be NO OTHER versions.
I guarantee you this works. It WILL install if you do this!!!! I am pleased to aid all who have banged their heads against the walls....Believe me, I've been there.
@raan-summers Usually it should work fine if you have no version installed instead of one specific. The installer will reinstall it.
