Windows 10: Can't Uninstall Visual C++ 2017 Redist 14.14.26429

I recently purchased a game that requires an updated version of the VC++ 2017 Redist. However, when I try to update either from the 2015-2019 MS direct download or from the one that shipped with the game I get an error as it tries to uninstall the old version: "Windows cannot find 'C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{<<some guid>>}\VC_redist.x64.exe'".


I recently updated to the 20H2 windows version and I wonder if that messed up the cache? Please let me know how to proceed to fix this. Thanks!

Windows 10 1703 Cannot uninstall Visual Studio 2015 C++ Redist x64

So good news bad news....
Geek Uninstaller would not uninstall Visual Studio C++ 2015 redist because it doesn't see it as being there.
This lead me on to more reading and research. It would seem and I don't know if this is a bug or by design. If Visual C++ Redist 2017 is on the box it will not let you install the x64 version of the 2015 Redist. I don't know if they share some files or like I said if its a bug. I uninstalled the 2017 redist and 2015 installed no problem.

Eagle DDU seems to have fixed the amdihk64 error message I was getting...thank you

Resident Evil 7 now works not sure if it is due to the cleanup of the amd drivers or if it was because of getting 2015 back on.

Gears 4 still doesn't work....splash screen and crash...May be due to not installing an actual amd driver package. There is a part of me that is hesitant.

Work in IT all these years and would love to see the day when video drivers do not become an issue.

Anyone have a all around suggested version of the AMD Crimson Reds for 480's

thanks

 

Microsoft Visual C++ Redist

Hello,

1. Sometime ago I had virus attach and had to uninstall some programs. During the uninstallation along with the program, many of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redist were deleted. I now only have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redist alone. My system has been performing
very slowly. Is there any way to determine which of the Microsoft Visual C++ files are required to optimize the performance?

2. Also when I shut down or restart my system, the following error shows up: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application"

Could you please help me with these problems? I am not tech savy so step by step process would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Anj

 

Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ msi wont install.

Hi,

Software conflicts are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. Based on the error message you provided, an older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 is blocking the installation. We suggest uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 from the control
panel before trying to install the new MS Visual 2017. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel.
  
• Click Programs, then click Programs and Features.
  
• Locate Microsoft Visual 2017 C++, then click Uninstall.
  

After uninstalling the program, try to install Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ again.

Get back to us with the outcome so we can help you further.
