Windows 10: Failed Install of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015

I recently purchased a new laptop. It is running Windows 10 Home x 64.


I was having some trouble getting Electronic Art's Origin Launcher to run. It is running into the error related to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015.


I have been trying to correct the error, but when I download and run the files from Microsoft, the set up fails. It is stating that another version is already installed and needs to be removed before continuing with the installation. However, while there are several versions of the Visual C++ Redistributable installed, the 2015 version is not.


I am confused as to which version I am supposed to remove if any.


Please see below:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x86) install fails

The software is buggy. If later versions of MS Visual C++ runtimes are installed it fails to detect them and tries to install earlier versions which breaks those MS Visual C++ runtime installations.








Allowing the install to continue doesn't allow those runtimes to install (because you can't install an earlier version over a later version) and it breaks the already installed versions. (They now show as 0 bytes)





It does actually install this:





I cannot test to see if the program will run (I suspect that it won't work anyway) as I don't have MS Office.

Suggest:

Remove those two VC++ Runtime versions if they already exist and reboot. Then try running the Dymo installer and see if it will install the earlier versions of VC++
