So, while trying to run a program, I got the error

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.

I need it for an upcoming project for school, and I can't download the C++ redistributable or whatever that would reinstall it, because it's a school laptop and I don't have administrator access. I managed to get the actual file itself, but I don't know where to put it. Can someone help?
