Windows 10: vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi missing

I recently tried to use the Rockstar Launcher to play GTA5 but when I clicked on it an error came up saying "vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi missing"


I was never able to fix it but I was able to just close the error message and continue to play GTA5 but today I received my new Logitech keyboard and mouse which both sync to the Logitech GHub software to control the RGB but when I try to install the software I get the same issue except I can't do anything to get past it.


I have done many searches to try and fix the issue and something that people are saying 99% of the time is that it is to do with the visual c++ redistributables so I tried downloading all of the distributables but when it starts downloading the actual one that is giving me problems I start getting the error message again so I am basically stuck in a loop trying to fix it with no success.


Can anyone help me with this problem before i decide to reinstall windows all over again.

Uninstalling JRE but .msi is missing

Ok, now I got it:

1. Downloaded and started jre-8u101-windows-i586.exe
   
2. The Install failed in the second step with an error code, but as long as the installer is still open I could find a jre1.8.0_101.msi where the uninstall process searches for jre1.8.0_101full.msi (notice the difference in name)
   
3. Copied the file to a different directory and renamed it jre1.8.0_101full.msi
   
4. Closed the installer (directory and jre1.8.0_101.msi get deleted)
   
5. Started the uninstall process and changed the path to my new directory.
   

Thanks @Biswapriyo for your help!

 

Downloaded MSI BIOS Missing Installer

That was it @Dude!!!







I was able to boot into F11 boot override, and run the BIOS flash from my USB stick, now I an updated to AD0.




I have spent the last half hour re-setting my BIOS, found out my saved OC profiles are no good any more as they are for the prior BIOS version, so had to recreate and test them too.
Now I am up and running though, one funny thing, MSI Live Update 6 now finds the .AD0 BIOS as an update after I installed it. I think that piece of crap, will have to go. I can always check out MSI once a month, and the programs I wan installed, will tell me if there is an update anyhow when I check using "Info".

You should make a step for step tutorial & video on updating MSI BIOS in this section*Wink

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
