Windows 10: Cannot install Visual C++ 2010

I've been wanting to reinstall Apex Legends after uninstalling it about a year back.

However during installation it would always come up with an error saying that the Visual C++ installation had failed.

After quite a bit of digging, I found it was specifically the 2010 redistributable that was having issues, and the installer would not start.

The .msi installer would say extracting installer files, and then a windows error reporter would appear saying the installer had stopped working.


I have tried downloading and manually installing c++ 2010 from the windows website, and the same error occurs.

Upon inspecting the event viewer, I get this regarding the installation:
