Okay, so I bought CC3+ years ago. Only just now found out I still had a valid code to use it with. So I download it, and as many of the addons as I own. I run through the install proceedure. Now, every time I try to open the program, I get a few dozen errors about 'proceedure entry point' errors with various DLL files. Then, if I'm lucky, the client opens and I get a lovely black screen (including where the tool icons are supposed to be), and a new error message whenever I click on anything other than 'close program.'

I'd really like to use this software. Can someone help me figure out how to do it on Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Other posts indicate something's up with the visual C++ redist; but downloading and installing v12 seems to have no effect. Couldn't find a fix to this exact problem.

Here's a partial list of the files the errors are pointing at. After this many, I couldn't write any more of 'em down. :( Please help!
