Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) install problem

Thanks for the update on the result of you performing the suggested troubleshooting steps. Since you're still getting the error message, we suggest that you get in touch with the application developer to verify the compatibility of the app with Windows 10
as well as confirm what other components it needs to install properly. The reason we are suggesting this is that the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are generally pre-installed in the Windows operating system and additional Microsoft Visual C++
2008 SP1 Redistributable Packages may require an additional license to install.

Regards.

 

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 for Windows 10

@Polo6RGTI & @Bree

Thanks guys for the screenshots, but shouldn't it actually 2008 SP1 and 2010 SP1 appear in control panel ? Appear as in separately both 2008 and 2008 SP1 or 2010 and 2010 SP1 ?

I remember back in Windows 7 in control panel it used to list all of them

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1

It listed all of them if i remember right.

@Polo6RGTI i noticed you also have nvidia driver 441.87 which is the latest. Can you please tell me, does the new driver work alright ?

I wanted to update my GPU drivers but i searched on nvidia forums and it looks like a lot of people have issues with 441.87 driver
