Resolution

DocsPlus uses Visual C++ to run correctly. On rare occasions, these components don't register properly when during installation.

To resolve the problem, download and install the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from Microsoft:

  1. Log into Windows as an administrator.
  2. Click this link to start the download:

DocsPlus should now launch correctly.
