Hi,

I have been trying to setup FMOD in my custom engine, after some troubles I managed  
to include the header files and link the lib files into my executable.

A few issues arose:

- My Engine complained that it needed vcruntime140\_app.dll,  
I have copied that over from my win32 folder but was wondering why this needs to be included in the first place.

- My application now executes but gives back a FMOD\_ERR\_INTERNAL when creating the system.

```auto
 FMOD::System* system;
    FMOD_RESULT result = FMOD::System_Create(&system);
    if (result != FMOD_OK) {
        // Handle error
        F_LOG_CORE_ERROR("Failed to create FMOD system");
        return 1;
    }

```

dll/libs used:

- fmod.dll
- vcruntime140\_APP.dll
- fmod.lib

Any ideas what could be causing this to happen?

Edit: I appearantly used the wrong windows fmod version, I downloaded the Windows 10 UWP and that didn’t work, the other one does the trick.
