You might need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package

See point 3 here https://meshroom-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/windows/windows.html

Great it solved the issue indeed!
It might be better to give a link to the install guide instead of just the executable on meshroom home page (https://alicevision.org/#meshroom) ?
