Windows 10: Captured VC++ redistributables when installed under win10b1909

1. I had a windows 7 installation with 5 versions of Corel's video studio installed - licence allows that, but only running one version at a time.
2. Video studio uses Visual C++ redistributables, several of them per version, and some are common to different versions. Windows 7 runs multiple program installations without a problem, but win10 will only allow one.
3. Upgrading to win10 - 2 attempts using the recommended in-place migration method - yielded a good win10 installation, but when video studio was installed, the second version installed "captured" a re-distributable used by the 1st version, leaving it "broken". See 5 below for how
4. Because VC++ redist for win7 and win10 are incompatible, they were uninstalled before the application was installed under a migrated win10 platform. On the 1st attempt the re-dist were uninstalled after migration, and on the 2nd attept they were uninstalled before the migration. The application installer determines and downloads the redist wanted to suit the (in this case, win10) OS on the PC.
5. when VS X10 was installed as the only VS version on win10, it started Ok and selecting a share page to render a video opened correctly. This page uses VC++ redist to display. The P&F page of control panel showed 4 redist versions when only X10 was installed.
6. When a second VS version - 2020 - was installed, it also started Ok. The share page opened correctly when selected. However, closing 2020 and starting X10, a share page selection now fails: hung up. Task manage close program is the only way to escape this.
7. When the 2 versions of VS (x10 and 2020) are installed, P&F shows 6 redist versions. Two are clearly extra for the newer version, however the other 4 are also used by 2 versions. And the later version seems to have reserved 1 (maybe more) of them for it's own use. This should not happen.

I've been unsuccessfully asking why or how this could happen on a new win10 platform - twice. It cannot be a coincidence, and it seems like it's a setting made somewhere. So far, there haven't been any answers. This is another attempt to find out why . . . .

vc++ runtime redistributable problem

I have a new Windows 10 laptop, and I am trying to install a game from Origin. I get the following message - Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue (1602). I have tried a variety of solutions,
including downloading the vc++ package directly from Microsoft, but I am unable to even do that. I have read that I can try deleting existing vc++ files and then reinstalling, but when I go to Programs and Features I do not see any Visual C++ Redistributable
files listed. Please let me know what to try next.

 

How to fix my VC++ Redistributables

Not too sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this in but I will go ahead - feel free to remove. I have been experiencing issues with my C++ Redistributable files since a recent update of Windows 10. Different installs say that I require them including MAMP and MySQL Installer.

MAMP detects that I need the following:





However, if I go to my installed programs I can clearly see these are installed:





I tried a fresh install of windows and it has not solved the problem. I also ran a 'scannow' and it all came back fine. What could be the issue and here and how do I solve it?

I am running Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

 

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 Installation Error

Hello,

I've tried all the steps and none of them worked.

• Method 1 did not work because the Fix It said it doesn't run on my operating system.
• I was able to do Method 2 but it did not fix the issue.
• I was also able to do Method 3 but that did not fix the issue.

I also tried to install the VC++ Redistributable Package while doing a clean boot but that did not work.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help so far.
