Why am I getting an error saying "CONCRT140.dll' is missing when using Image Processing Toolbox?

When I try to run to use a function from the Image Processing Toolbox, I am getting the following error message in MATLAB:

Error using images.internal.morphmex

Invalid MEX-file '<file:///C:/Program C:\Program> Files\MATLAB\R2018b\toolbox\images\images\+images\+internal\morphmex.mexw64':

Missing dependent shared libraries:

Error in images.internal.morphop (line 101)

B = images.internal.morphmex(ocvMethod, B, logical(nhood), zeros(size(nhood)), unpacked_M);

Error in imerode (line 87)

B = images.internal.morphop(A,se,'erode',mfilename,varargin{:});
