If you see "Error code = 126" in your Log.txt file, Windows is missing one or more of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages.
1. First, try installing this one then reboot your computer and load the plane again. It's the most likely to be missing in Windows.

2. If that doesn't do it, here are the other direct links that you may need. Be sure to run the "x64" version for those that come with multiple versions. Install all of them, then restart your computer afterwards:
