Stella and 0xc000007b error on Windows 7 64-bit

I tried downloading and installing 5 different versions of Stella, and I also installed the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable that they require (both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions), and no matter what when I double-click the .exe I keep getting a message saying, "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b), Click OK to close the application." I have Windows 7 64-bit on my notebook, and have downloaded and used emulators for so many different systems in the past, but for some reason I can never seem to figure out how to get Stella to work. Do you happen to have any idea what I am doing wrong?

A couple of articles regarding that exact error message:

 

The Application was Unable to Start Correctly (0xc000007b) [FIXED]

 

How to Fix Application Unable to Start Correctly Error (0xc000007b)

 

Both articles point to possible Windows system file problem(s), including the possible need to...

 

...perform Windows updates...

...reinstall DirectX...

...update .NET framework...

...run a check disk...

...enable/run the app with Administrator rights...

 

...in addition to the reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages.

 

If it still does not work, some "advanced solutions" are also available to try.

Reinstall .NET framework

Windows 10 uses .NET Framework 4.5 but didn’t include version 3.5 to make it compatible with older apps. This can be the root of the ‘The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)’ error.

  • Click “Start” button to select Control Panel and click Programs and Features.
  • Click “Turn Windows features on or off” item on the left panel.
  • The “Windows Features” window pops up.
  • Find and click .NET Framework 3.5 and press OK.
  • Then it will start downloading and installation.
  • Restart the computer and check whether this error is fixed.
