I am getting the same error and I installed using MSI.
Downloaded the VC redist packages for x64 and it fixed the issue:
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
Strange that the error message has python.exe as it's title.

You must also download VC redist packages for x86 in order for Workbench to work well. Dec 28, 2016 at 14:50
You probably "installed" from the zip package, which does not do any validation of the available prerequisites for MySQL Workbench. I strongly recommend to use the Windows Installer (or at least the msi) which check if the VC++ 2013 runtime is installed (which includes the mentioned DLL). The installer also allows for easy upgrades and helps you with the setup.
I had the same problem and I found the missing dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder. Just copy it to System32 and was fixed.
If you still have the @MikeW error with python.exe is because you have a 32bits version of one and the 64bits of the other (Python and Workbench).

For me, the dll was missing in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder, so I installed Visual C++ Redistributable Packages 32 bit package and the problem was solved.– NirOct 24, 2021 at 6:20
