Qt5Core.dll missing?

Hi,
Strange thing happened. While my machine was running, the SC program shut down and just disappeared. When I clicked my shortcut to reopen Sierra Chart, I received an error message stating: "The item 'SierraChart.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved..."

I then tried to download the latest version of Sierra Chart, but again, I could not get it to start. This time, the error message read: "The program can't start because Qt5Core.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Unfortunately, reinstalling did not fix the problem...

I assume there is a simple fix for this, but my general computer illiteracy is once again hindering my efforts to resolve this on my own. My apologies for asking your help, but I am at a loss here.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - I am currently running Windows 10 Pro

This is very unusual.

What we would recommend that you do is install Sierra Chart into a new folder on your system.

Run the Sierra Chart installer:
https://www.sierrachart.com/downloads/SierraChartFileDownloader.exe

Install it into C:\SierraChart2


After that is done, follow the instructions here to copy over the data and settings files from the original installation in C:\SierraChart:
