Error After Installing Lightroom: Win32 API error 126 ("The specified module could not be found.")

Greetings,

Downloaded Creative Cloud Desktop and then installed Lightroom.  When LR starts up we immediately get this error:

Error Initializing Lightroom

We tried following the steps below of reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ distributable and that did not work.  We also tried uninstalling (via Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool) and reinstalling both Creative Cloud and Lightroom and resulted in us seeing the same error.
