Heidisql: Error finding libmariadb.dll or libmysql-6.1dll libraries with Windows Store version

[jsn-m]

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. Install HeidiSQL from Windows Store (v10.0.3.5771);
2. Create a new session in the Connection Manager;
3. Select the libmariadb.dll or libmysql-6.1.dll library;
4. Error message: 'Library libmariadb.dll could not be loaded. Please select a different one. Internal error 126: The specified module could not be found'.

Current behavior

Error finding libmariadb.dll or libmysql-6.1dll libraries. I have checked that they are in fact in the application install directory in C:Program FilesWindowsApps...AnsgarBeckerSoftware...

Expected behavior

Expected no error when selecting a library other than libmysql.dll from Connection Manager.

Environment

Fresh install of Windows. I did hack at C:UsersUserAppDataLocalPackages...AnsgarBeckerSoftware... to try restore config files, before I opened HeidiSQL for the first time.
EDIT: I did uninstall and reinstall the app from the Store to try resolve the problem.

• HeidiSQL version:
  Windows Store 10.0.3.5771
• Operating system:
  Windows 10 1903

I just got a mail from another user who reported the same problem, and fixed it by installing vc runtime libraries from https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe . Could you please do the same and report back if that works then?

I had the same issue, and I confirm that installing VC Runtime fixes the problem

Same for me. I've installed HeidiSQL 11.1.0.6116 on my new laptop (Windows 10 20H2) and I had an error saying: "_Library libmariadb.dll could not be loaded. Please select a different one._". VC Runtime fixed it. Thanks
