Photoshop will not start. No error codes, I've wiped everything and started new and still crashes

Question

Windows 7I was working in Capture One and went to open some raw files in Photoshop.  Photoshop started to open then warnings about missing DLL files came up.  I shut everything down and tried it directly from the Start menu.  Same issues, DLL files.  I ended up tracking down each DLL file it said was missing (api-ms-win-core... 10 total), placing them into Windows and still loads up initializing screen and then goes to crash report which I've attached.I ended up deleting everything Adobe, running the Adobe CC cleaner, restarting, completely fresh.  Reinstalled CC, installed Photoshop, same crash screen. I have to think this has to do with the .dll files then, either missing, corrupt, wrong ones or? Please help, I'm very late on a deadline!  thanks.
