Windows 10: Microsoft VC++ 2010 Redistributable install fails due to "Waiting for another install to...

I'm unable to install or uninstall the Microsoft VC++ 2010 Redistributable as it says it is "Waiting for another install to complete". I do not have any other installations happening, and I get the error still even after restarting my PC and installing all available windows updates.

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.

 

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++

 

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

It's personal choice. I prefer to remove the leftovers that windows uninstaller leaves behind. (Although it shouldn't leave any for VC++)

Only remove the 2013 versions listed by Dymo (if later versions are installed)

Then rebooot. Important because there could be file operations pending that will only complete on reboot.

Then try installing that Dymo program.

It's possible to remove all VC++ versions and reinstall which is what I did again today.
