The error "VCruntime140_1.dll was not found" typically occurs when the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package is missing or outdated on your system. To resolve this, you can download and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package from Microsoft's official website. You'll likely need the x64 version for Visual Studio 2015-2022.

If installing the redistributable doesn't resolve your issue, there are alternative approaches you might consider. We maintain official Docker images which include all necessary dependencies, or you can choose to build Stalwart directly on your target system to ensure all dependencies are properly linked.

It's important to note that Windows is currently a Tier-2 platform for Stalwart Mail Server. This means that while we maintain Windows compatibility, our primary development and testing is done on Linux. Windows builds are provided as a convenience but may have limitations, and bug fixes for Windows-specific issues may take longer to address. Some features may not work as optimally as they do on Linux.

Thank you for the heads up. I already have a linux vm emaiI server. I hoping to consolidate some services. I will sort out a linux vm and try that option.
