Unfortunately yes, I did.
I have followed and installed the two 2013 redistributables, and it hasn't helped.
I uninstalled spriter, and uninstalled all of the visual C++ redistributables that were on my system, installed just the x86 2013 version and installed spriter. No luck.
Uninstalled spriter, installed the x64 redistribution.
Installed spriter. No luck.
I have win7 64 bit
16 GB memory,
4GB Gforce 740
AMD 8320 CPU
