I downloaded and installed python 3.0, 3.6.0 and 3.6.1 and they all said that I was missing: "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0.dll" or the msi files as i have read online. I don't know how to get said files and I need this program soon. Can anyone help?

Steve can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this means your Windows OS isn't up to date.  Googling seems to indicate that this isn't a problem unique to Python.

Try installing https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572 separately. This should add the required files, and because it's the "official" installer will provide more details about the underlying error (if any).

You may also need to reboot your machine. This is a system update, not a trivial file installation.

Unless you are experimenting, you only need 3.6.1.  3.0 is deprecated in the sense that it was not meant for production use.

This tracker is for developing the next releases of CPython.  If you have any more questions, try python-list.
