Installed & registered fine. But when I try to create a screensaver, I get the message; the program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
Uninstalled & reinstalled = same message.
Restart PC, install again, and get the same message once more.

Animated Screensaver Maker is one of 3 similar, related apps Desktop Paints develops. They basically use the same sort of graphics FX you might find in a mid-range to higher end game to add motion FX, & optionally sprites, to a static image of your choosing. Screensaver Maker saves the results as a screensaver, Wallpaper Maker creates animated wallpaper, & Animation Maker lets you create video clips.

On the plus side the software lets you create animated scenes without the learning curve & work involved creating the same thing from scratch, while the screensaver & wallpaper files are smaller than a video file would be, so they're easier to share. The apps, screensavers, & wallpaper work best using the graphics hardware on a Windows device [PC, laptop, tablet], and one downside is that not every device has the graphics horsepower needed. Note that running one of the created screensavers or animated wallpapers will likely bring a graphics card or separate [discrete] GPU out of power saving mode [if your device has a graphics card or separate GPU].

All three of the Desktop Paints apps are light weight -- installing them has little impact on Windows itself -- and as you can see on their blog page, Desktop Paints is continually adding improvements.
