MFC140.dll is a Microsoft distributed component and part of the Visual Studio 2015 components provided with Windows. This can either be installed from the tools\msbase\vn2015 folder of the installation of obtained from Microsoft resources. Install both x86 and x64 versions from the resources. Like the 17.4 Release, the 2015 components are no longer supported by Microsoft which may explain why they are missing from your Windows installation.
