installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package

Once the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable is installed and your laptop is restarted, try installing VirtualBox again. Go to the VirtualBox website, download the installer for Windows hosts, and run it. The error message regarding the missing Microsoft Visual C++ package should no longer appear.

If you still encounter some issues, make sure you have downloaded the correct version (x86 or x64) of the Visual C++ Redistributable that matches your system type.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive an error, ‘0x80240017’ when trying to install Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable package. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



How are you trying to install Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable package?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and see if that helps:



Method 1: Reset components



We can try resetting the Windows components and see if that helps.

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
   
3. Type or paste the command and hit enter:
   
   net stop wuauserv
   
   net stop cryptSvc
   
   net stop bits
   
   net stop msiserver
   
   ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
   
   ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
   
   net start wuauserv
   
   net start cryptSvc
   
   net start bits
   
   net start msiserver
   
4. Close command prompt window.
   

Method 2: Remove Visual C++ and reinstall



I would also suggest you to check if Visual C++ is already installed. To check type appwiz.cpl in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter. If Visual C++ is already installed, I would suggest you to try uninstalling it and then installing it. To
uninstall Visual C++, refer the section Uninstall from the Control Panel (for programs)
under Uninstall or remove apps and programs in the article

Repair or remove programs in Windows 10.



Method 3: Run DISM Command



You may also want to try running the DISM command and see if that helps.
To do this, refer the steps mentioned in the article Using System File Checker
in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.

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.
