Embedded python not running on Windows laptop

I am trying to run an embedded python application which runs well on desktop computers but on a laptop it is giving errors.

Initial error was:

The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-timezone-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer.

On installing above, it gives error that api-ms-win-core-file-l2-1-0.dll is missing.

How far this will go? What is the problem and how can this be solved? Thanks for your help.

The problem is that the developers have used some version of C++ to create their programs and the programs require some runtime files (Dynamic Linked Libraries) to be present in order to install/run and the developers do not include those files with their installation (why not?) and the websites for the programs often do not list the prerequisites and requirements of what you need to have installed for their programs to work.

Try installing the missing files.
