Windows 10: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Issue

Hello,


I am not computer savvy so I don't know what this means. This happens when I go to launch certain PC games. If I click yes, the game refuses to open. Is there any way to fix this?

Visual C++ 2015-2019 x64 failure to install

Hi

My name is Jon and I am an independent technical adviser. Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues and I would really like to help you find a resolution.

This isn't a problem with the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 redistributable that you are trying to install. There is a Visual C++ 2015 redistributable already installed and the problem is with that.

The version of the redistributable that you are trying to install is trying to remove the old version of the Visual C++ redistributable, and this is failing.

To remove this redistributable, you must obtain a copy of the Visual C++ 2015 version 14.0.24215 and use that to remove the redistributable. It must be this exact version. Once you have done that then the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 will install.

Hope this helps.
