1) I have windows view. When running version 3.0.5 of electrum, it gives me errors: in api-ms-win-crt-runtime-I1-1-0.dll and in python_dll. I downloaded these dll, but the errors continue.

1) that is the problem with older versions of windows (like windows 7). you need to install the latest updates. install KB2999226 and it should work.

If anyone is missing Windows 7 Service Pack 1, which is a prerequisite for KB2999226, you may be having some issues with installing that particular update, presented with the message "This update is not applicable to your computer". There may also be issues obtaining SP1 directly through Windows Update because it's horribly broken and useless.

The official download for Service Pack 1 is here. If you're still having issues, because it's not always as straight forward as running the update, you can either try these steps, or the following (easier) steps:

Download WSUS Offline Update
Extract wherever you like and run UpgateGenerator.exe
Select Windows 7 and press "Start"
Wait for what feels like an eternity
Once that's finished, exit UpgateGenerator.exe then navigate to the /client folder and run UpdateInstaller.exe
Tick the box for .NET Framework and again press "Start"
Wait for ages again until it eventually reboots and then reboots again

You should now have a message saying Service Pack 1 is installed and you can proceed to installing the KB2999226 update.

I have a similar issue but I'm on windows 8.1. It also says: "Error Loading Python DLL".

Do you know how to fix it?

If anyone else still has such issues, I found a solution to fix it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2833220.0
