I am not able to get over this error. I'm using IntelliJ 2020.1.1 and I've tried every suggested solution- upgrading(6.1) and downgrading(both 6.0 and 5.6.4) gradle, changing gradle properties, clean/rebuild etc. Nothing works.

I had been trying to install CRT but it would always say "The update is not applicable to Computer". Today I found out that Service pack 1 was not installed on my system. Now CRT is installed and my project is finally running. Thank you – Ishani

It worked after installing Universal C Runtime. I was getting "The update is not applicable to your computer" message everytime I tried to install CRT. Turns out Service pack 1 was not installed on my system. CRT was installed after this update and my project also executed finally.
