Visual studio - how to check what DLLs does my program need to run/what DLLs are missed?

I've just downloaded the Visual Studio 2017 Community.
Once I try to compile any program (even the simplest "Hello World") with any configuration (release/debug, x86/x64, empty project/windows console application), I get the following error:

Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(381,5): error MSB6006: error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515 (This error means STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND, I know it's been asked before, but I don't know how to check what DLLs are missed).

Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(381):
   <CL Condition="'%(ClCompile.PrecompiledHeader)' != 'Create' and
   '%(ClCompile.ExcludedFromBuild)'!='true' and
   '%(ClCompile.CompilerIteration)' == '' and @(ClCompile) != ''"

Do you know how to check what DLLs are missing?

I'm new but i hope I'll answer quite properly. To reach the actual error code you need to change it to hex. Yours is

C0000135

. As far as I know it's file damage related,so you're right about dll missing. In older visuals the way to know it was via command line.

Ran msbuild.exe <my.sln> /t:<mytargetproject> from a VS2010 command prompt, where <my.sln> is your solution name and <mytargetproject> is the project you are trying to build. For e.g. msbuild.exe helloworld.sln /t:mainproj.

That is a cite from different post in stackoverflow.

Error Code -1073741515 When Using EDITBIN

Hope it will be easier for you to resolve problem with this. Can't help more as I don't use VS neither Windows. Good luck!
