[solved] GZDoom Builder-bugfix does not start

Hi,

I just got done installing Windows on my home desktop computer and I tried to run GZDoom Builder on it. However, it does not start up at all. The busy cursor arrow with the spinning disc shows up for a second or so, but no window pops up and no error message is displayed.
  • Operating system is Windows 10 Home
  • Graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (Palit 6GB), drivers are installed
  • Updater.exe works and it installed .net runtimes. I tried to install .net runtimes previously manually but it had said that I had the latest ones.
  • I checked in %appdata% and there's no evident "Doom builder" folder which I've read should exist
  • GZDoom itself runs fine
  • I tried both GZDoom_Builder_Bugfix-r3072-x64.7z and GZDoom_Builder_Bugfix-r3072.7z.
  • I tried disabling anti-virus and that did not help either
Any idea what might be causing this?

Figured it out. I had to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable.

Of course it was that simple.
