Is VCRUNTIME140.dll part of NymVPN?
不会的。 It is a standard Microsoft component that many Windows programs rely on. NymVPN needs it present on the system but does not ship or modify it.
x86 or x64, which one do I need?
Nearly all modern Windows installations are 64-bit, so x64 is the usual choice. If unsure, you can install both; they coexist safely.
