[apache] WAMP won't turn green. And the VCRUNTIME140.dll error

After lots and lots of installing and uninstalling for a whole day and trying every packages for every answers in here, the only thing that worked for me was:

  1. Uninstall Wamp and reboot
  2. installing Visual Studio 2017 Community edition and choose "Web development" and check all of the options in the right site. Here's a screenshot: enter image description here

This somehow install something that is needed for Wamp as well.

  1. install Wamp, and you should be all good.
