Description

What version of Racket are you using?
9.1 (current download as of now)

What program did you run?
Please include a short example that triggers the bug

Both Racket.exe and DrRacket fail

What should have happened?

It should have started, but it exits

If you got an error message, please include it here.

Error: (while loading ~a) ~a
("API-MS-WIN-CRT-RUNTIME-L1-1-1.0.DLL" "The operation completed successfully")

Please include any other relevant details
e.g., the operating system used or how you are running the code.

I'm on windows 11, fully updated. Initial installation gives the problem above. When trying to reinstall, it claims it can't uninstall the previous version and I have to force uninstall. That usually works, but once it said I had to delete it manually. When I inspected the Racket folder, the only file was the uninstaller. In any case, the installation part goes smoothly.

Removing the racket directory entirely manually and then rebooting and reinstalling prevents it from complaining about a previous installation. But the install binary still can't run, seemingly because it can't load the C Run-time system?

This is a new laptop, so it's not an issue of artifacts from an installation before today's.
