ogre-sdk-v14.2.4-msvc142-x64.zip: no exe works

[BSer]

Ogre Version: 14.2.4
Operating System: Windows 10
Render System: Direct 3D 9

I extracted ogre-sdk-v14.2.4-msvc142-x64.zip, browsed to the bin folder and ran some executables, all with exceptions. Below is the output of Test_Ogre.exe with just a few of the many failures. I must be overlooking some setup steps.

Ogre Next demos run just fine but I have an old Ogre code project so I'd like to have the most compatibility.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I just tried downloading ogre-sdk-v14.2.4-msvc142-x64.zip.

Uncompressed it into a folder named: ogre-sdk-v14.2.4-msvc142-x64

Then went into the "bin" folder and tested some executables and they all work.

How did you do it?

Thanks for checking it out. I did exactly as you did but got many errors. Wondering if it's something like a VC runtime DLL? I wonder which such DLL these exes want.

I also tried this now.

Test_Ogre.exe gets a lot of errors for me as well, so it is hard to say that something is wrong for you there.
SampleBrowser.exe works well though, does it not work for you?

If it does not work, what error do you get?
Also, post the Ogre.log in that case (present at C:\Users\YOUR_USER\Documents\OGRE Sample Browser).

You can also try to add an exception to the entire folder in your anti-virus program (even if you don't have one, Windows Security/Defender is actually an anti-virus, so do it there through "Virus and threat protection").

Regarding redist, it should be this one (search for "vc_redist.x64.exe"):
