Windows 10: How do I fix this C++ redistributable issue?

I have run into an error where I cannot download the microsoft C++ redistributable X64 packages from the microsoft website itself.

Complete that installation before proceeding with this one" popped up. I contacted chat support, and I was told that this was outside of his scope and to come here to the community for help.

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.

C++ redistributable

Sometimes when i install games, at the end they require two other components:
directX update and C++ 2005 redistributable.
Now the question is: This C++ 2005 means that the game was written in MSVC 2005?
