CC3200-LAUNCHXL: unhandled exception in Radio Tool v1.2 application due to missing CC3200Lib.dll

I checked and CC3200Lib.dll does exist.  the Radio tool application does not seem to find it.  I am not sure if this is due to some application version update or board flashing (which appear to have completed without any error messages using the UniFlash tool).  I am going through the reinsalls all over again, even thought I am not convinced I will be doing something different, just on the off chance I downloaded the wrong version of an applcation.  Any thoughts?

My board say CC3200-LaunchHXL but the available service pack on the TI site has the following read me notes, do I need an older version of the service pack (if so, it is much much older):

here is a short list of what I am installing:  

Hi Jan.  thanks you for referring me to those threads.  the second link describes a similar problem, it is 8 years removed, so I looked at the what I think is the equivalent MS Visual C++ install.  I have a bunch both for x86 and x64.  Without knowing what else it is looking for, It is a shot in the dark as it appears I have no window updates pending...

can you advise something else?

Hi,

Microsoft redistributable packages are not backward compatible. If software is build with 2010 and this exact redistributable package is not installed, software will not work.

For example I have at my computer installed:

• 2005 x86 and x64
• 2008 x86 and x64
• 2010 x86 and x64
• 2012 x86 and x64
• 2013 x86 and x64
• 2015-2019 x86 and x64
