    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

  3. 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.

    Can't install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008

    Hi David,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I will surely help you to resolve the issue with
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008.

    To understand the issue better, let me know from
    where you are installing
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008?

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

    1. Incorrect Windows Update settings.

    2. Corrupt Windows Update components.



    Try the steps listed here:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run “Windows Update troubleshooter” to diagnose the exact issue.

    a. Press Windows key on the
    keyboard
    .

    b. Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the search box.

    c. Select “View all” option from the left panel.



    d. Then select “Windows Update” option from the list and follow the onscreen instructions.

    Method 2:

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to try the steps under the section
    Manually reset Windows Update components and check if it helps.
    Resetting Windows Update Components will fix corrupt Windows Update Components.

    How do I reset Windows Update components?
