Calling a tiny C++ dll from a C# Project - later version of VCRUNTIME causes 0x8007007E

Created a tiny C++ project in Visual Studio 2022 community edition.

Calc.h

#pragma once
#include <comdef.h>
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int Multiply(int a, int b);

Calc.cpp

    #include "pch.h"
    #include "Calc.h"
    int Multiply(int a, int b) {
        return a * b;
}

Using a C# project to call the Multiply function. Note, some code not shown here

    [DllImport("Calc.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
    static extern int Multiply(int a, int b);
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        CheckFileExists();
    }
    private void CheckFileExists()
    {
        string res = File.Exists("Calc.dll") ? "File Exists" : "File Not Found";
        txtCheck.Text = res;    // Shows Calc.dll exists
    }
    private void btnMultiply_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        int z  = Multiply(5, 4); // Shows 0x8007007E ERROR
        txtRes.Text = z.ToString();
    }

The Calc.dll file was copied over to the bin directory for this project. When run, the CheckfileExists shows that the file Calc.dll Exists, but the call to Multiply fails giving System.DllNotFoundException (0x8007007E) - Obviously, this is one of Calc.Dll Dependencies as the file is found and thus DEPENDENCYWAKLER was used to find the missing modules. Dependencywalker reported missing API-MS-WIN-CRT-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL and Missing API-MS-WIN-CORE-APIQUERY-L1-1-0.DLL, EXT-MS-WIN-ADVAPI32-REGISTRY-L1-1-0.DLL, EXT-MS-WIN-KERNEL32-DATETIME-L1-1-0.DLL and many other functions Like this indicating that VCRuntime 1.0 was not installed - however, upon trying to install this from Microsoft website, it said that it could not install when a newer version was installed.

In Addition DependencyWalker reported a circular dependency was found which I am guessing is VCRUNTIME140_APP.DLL (it has a question mark against that but does not report it as missing).

Please could anyone advise how I could point the Calc project at the latest version of VCRuntime in the 2022 Community edition project as it appears I have a slightly later version of VCRuntime (14.42.34438.00) and I would like to reference this version in my C++ Dll (which is only one line long and should be easily compiled and run).

Thanks
