"Sorry, an unexpected error occurred" error

[0ttik]

Describe the bug
When I'm trying to connect to my Outline server I'm getting an error which says: "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. Quitting and restarting may help. If this happens again, please submit feedback.". I'm getting this error no matter how many times I try to connect.

When I'm trying to connect to the same server from my Android phone it successfully connects via the same wi-fi.

What I've tried: restarting service, rebooting, reinstalling outline, removing adapter and reinstalling outinle. Still getting the same error.

To Reproduce
Install outline, press "connect" get an error.

Expected behavior
To connect without the error.

Client System (please complete the following information):

• Outline Client Version: Windows Outline ver. 1.5.0
• Your Operating System: Windows 10

Submit Feedback
Sent.

Additional context
Here is log from running Ouline.exe from command prompt and pressing "connect" button.

For me, I tried executing smartdnsblock.exe and found that MSVCP140.dll is missing. So that, I installed MSVC redistributable latest both x86 and x64. And it’s working now! Hope that help!
