I solved!

These are the steps if anyone else experience similar problems:

1. I changed the permissions of my temp folder. Here is the step-by-step guide: https://superuser.com/questions/668820/google-drive-error-python27-dll
2. I copied python35.dll and python3.dll in system32 and  sysWOW64 folder. I gotta thank this user: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/drive/qcHYkqeikLE
3. I installed the latest windows updates and rebooted.
4. Once reboteed, finally I can run both ELectrum and ElectonCash.

Thank you @tryninja for your help anyway!

Hi Smiley

My OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack1

I downloaded electrum-3.0.5-setup for Windows from electrum.org, installed it ok but I can't run it at all.

I'm getting two errors.

first:
electreum-3.0.5.exe System Error
"The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0,dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

second:
Fatal Error!
"Error loading Python DLL 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum\python35.dll'  LoadLibrary: The specified module could not be found."

Please help Smiley
