Windows 10: I'm having trouble trying to install windows visual C++. with the error code: 0x80070660

When I try and install it, it keeps on saying:"One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see log file." opens log file"0x80070660 - The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or inaccessible. Free up space on the drive or verify that you have write permission on the Temp folder."My temp folder has more than 50 gigs in it left so its not a storage issue and I don't know how to do the other things.

Sorry for having this issue

I suggest you to download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 from the below link and check if it helps.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to install the Visual C++ in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

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

1. Download the software from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

2. Right click on the setup file of the software 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 software install and then check the functionality.

Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ msi wont install.

Hi,

Software conflicts are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. Based on the error message you provided, an older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 is blocking the installation. We suggest uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 from the control
panel before trying to install the new MS Visual 2017. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel.
  
• Click Programs, then click Programs and Features.
  
• Locate Microsoft Visual 2017 C++, then click Uninstall.
  

After uninstalling the program, try to install Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ again.

Get back to us with the outcome so we can help you further.
