Parallel N64 core not loading

I can’t seem to get this core loaded. I’ve tried deleting the core from the Cores directory and then downloading again from the Online Updater, but every time I try to load the core it just says “No Core”. I know it worked a few days ago, maybe before I updated to 1.6.9. I’m using Windows x64.

Weird. It worked for me in version 1.6.9 without having 2017 redistributable installed.
