If you have installed DeepSkyStacker 5.1.6 and it won’t startup, then it is likely that you have hit a problem caused by another application’s install procedure overwriting msvcp140.dll with a back-level version.

If this is the case, then you will find that the log file in “My Documents\DeepSkyStacker” contains lines like:

00000030 2024/06/19 21:30:57.010 028564 00003520     >00007FFC81353020 (MSVCP140): (filename not available): Thrd_yield
00000030 2024/06/19 21:30:57.010 028564 00003520     >

The solution to this problem is to download the latest version of the Visual C++ re-distributable (vc_redist) for x64 from:
https://aka.ms/vs/17..._redist.x64.exe
and running it, selecting the “Repair” option.
