Hi,

I am running on windows 7 X64 machine, and when I run source_pyhton fiunction and py_config, I get an error:

py_config() Error in py_initialize(config$python, config$libpython, config$pythonhome, : C:/ProgramData/Anaconda3/envs/r-reticulate/python37.dll - The specified procedure could not be found.

There is also a pop up window that says:
The procedure entry point ucrbase.abort could not be located in the dynamic link library api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll

Below is the configuration I have:
