0x80240017 - Unspecified Error in Microsoft visual c++ 2015 installing

When ever i install Microsoft visual c++ software i start by ensuring Microsoft visual c++ x86 version of that year is installed first on 64 bit computer like so.

Visual C++ 2008 x86 followed by Visual C++2008 x64

Visual C++ 2010 x86 followed by Visual C++ 2010 x64

VisuallC++ 2013 x86 follow by Visual C++ 2013 x64

Visual c++ 2015 x86 followed by Visual C ++ 2015 x64

that how i ensure they are installed on Windows from 7 to Windows 11.

Just remember prior Windows updates are need to ensure smooth running installing of Visual c++ 2015 too.

Hello Deepanshu Varshney

Error code 0x80240017 means WU_E_NOT_APPLICABLE -

Operation was not performed because there are no applicable updates.

When installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64), the update Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64.msu should be installed, but this fails on your system.

Can you share the CBS folder from the following path please: C:\Windows\logs

Copy and paste the CBS folder on your desktop, zip it and then upload it on OneDrive or Google Drive and share the link here.

Greetings
