Windows 10: I am trying to install a few games but I get a lot of errors

It was installing Microsoft VISUAL C++ 2015 - 2022 RUNTIME. But it shows me an error saying 'vc_runtimeMininum_x86.msi' cannot be found. I tried all sorts of things but nothing seems to work. I tried using Microsoft troubleshooting tools but nothing seems to work.

Follow the steps below on how to install game in compatibility mode:

2. Right click on the setup file of the game and select “Properties”.

3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

5. Let the game install and then check the functionality.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

 

Install Diablo 3 on Linux

Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.
