NovumZ: Any chance someone could post direct links for: VC 2010, 2013, 2017?
Mind as well make it a solution even if it doesn't work.
win7 is my last ms product.
I still cannot believe someone at GOG (DRM-FREE) store support would say; or just get windows 10 to fix my issues with game that worked before update!?!
ksj8ak2: ThorChild got it right -- I've since checked, what nms.exe is linking to, and it pulls in all of these VCREDIST releases. Mind as well make it a solution even if it doesn't work.

Guessing from the (partial) error message you posted, it seems like you're missing more than just the 2017 Visual C runtime.
Try the link I posted: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Download and install the Visual Studio 2017, 2013 and 2010 distrubutions, respectively.
While I kind of get, why GOG support might have responded the way they did, I very much agree with you on that not (even remotely) being an acceptable suggestion.
