  1. Can't install C++ due to unlocatable file


    I've been trying to download C++ to run programs, however every time I try it says the folder doesn't exist and to "try to find the installation package 'vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi", but i can not find a folder containing this anywhere on my computer.

  2. Unable to Initialize Application Due to Missing C++ Driver

    I am encountering an issue where an application fails to initialize due to a missing C++ driver. Despite following troubleshooting steps, including installing the latest Visual C++ Redistributable package and restarting my computer, the problem persists. The error message does not specify which driver or provide further details, making it difficult to resolve. Assistance in identifying and fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Download and install the application.
    2. Attempt to run the application.
    3. Receive error message: "Unable to initialize app due to missing C++ driver."

    Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

    1. Ensured the operating system and related software are up to date.
    2. Installed the latest Visual C++ Redistributable package.
    3. Restarted the computer.
    4. Reinstalled the application.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Can't install C++ due to unlocatable file ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
