"The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. ".

Answer 1

The problem is related to your Windows update. You have to update your current Windows(here Windows 7) version until no updates available.

First, install Windows update KB2999226. Then install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redist (vc_redist.x64 or vc_redist.x32). Restart the PC and run MongoDB mongod.
