Monogame Pipeline Tool Error

Build error while I was trying to build an image of a lion:

Error

So I was trying to build an image through the monogame content pipeline tool in Visual Studio 2017 community, but when I click build, it says "Build: 0 succeeded,1 failed, time elapsed" then it says how many seconds it took etc,etc. But when I try to build an image on a school computer in my computer programming class at school, it works fine.

I really want to know how to get it to work because I have never messed the program files or anything and I have never used monogame content pipeline tool at home, my class barely started using it and I know how to use it but it doesn't work. I tried to uninstall VS and the Monogame SDK and reinstall them, but it didn't help.

From the image you provided it looks like the root of the problem is loading the FreeImage.dll. Looking around the MonoGame forums I found someone with a similar problem: http://community.monogame.net/t/monogame-noob-unable-to-load-freeimage/6255. The post is from Aug 2015, that dependency was last updated in Jul 2015, and so it should still apply to the problem you're having.

The problem appears rooted in a dependency FreeImage.dll has on the VC++ 2012 runtime. If you do not have installed on your computer you will not be able to load the native .DLL required to process the image. The re-distributable may be downloaded and installe from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-Us/download/details.aspx?id=30679. Assuming the dependency hasn't changed (unlikely for reasons noted in the previous paragraph) this should resolve your issue.
