Windows 10: Cannot install applications due to microsoft visual c++ 2019 x64 minimum runtime error

hello, i seem to be having a reoccurring problem with the microsoft visual c++ 2019 x64 minimum runtime. In the screenshot attached, it shows this pop-up whenever i try downloading certain applications. in this instance, i was trying to download a software for customizing my mouse settings and dpi. I've also had this problem before with a similar application and got the same pop-up.

Microsoft Visual C++2017 x64 Minimum Runtime error

Andrew - many thanks for your helpful response.

Firstly, I found no changes were needed regarding your first paragraph on virtual memory.
The checkbox beside: ‘Automatically manage paging file size for all drives’ was already ticked.

Next, I successfully installed x86: vc redist.x86.exe but could not install x64: vc redist.v64.exe.



The first error window was headed: Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime – 14.20.27508
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package ‘vc_runtimeMinimum_x64msi’ in the box below.
The box was headed ‘Use source’ and offered, C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{03EBF679-E8…

The next error window stated: The path ‘C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{03EBF679-E886-38AD-8E70-28658449F7F9}v14.14.26429\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\vc_runtime cannot be found.
Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package ‘vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi’ in a folder from which you can install the product Microsoft Visual C++2017 x64 Minimum Runtime – 14.14.26429.

{03EBF679-E886-38AD-8E70-28658449F7F9}v14.14.26429 does not appear in the list in ProgramData/Package Cache on my computer.

The last error window that appeared stated: ‘The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime – 14.20.27508 cannot be removed’

I retried installing x64: vc redist.v64.exe in Clean Boot mode but had the same error messages.



I have not attempted to go any further in your list of recommended actions.
Any ideas please?

Tony
