Windows 10: Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Minimum Runtime -14.29.30133 Error

Hello, Steam trying to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 however, I will always get this error. I have tried the Troubleshooter but it was not helpful. I even tried to uninstall all the C++ Visuals but I could not find the X86 2019 one. I have tried to navigate to the folder myself, but it was not working either. I tried a bunch of other fixes on this forum but I was unable to resolve my issue. Can someone please help?Best regards, Radoslav

Error installing Visual C++ 2019 X86 Minimum Runtime

I installed a couple versions of Microsoft Visual C++ for my new windows 10 system. However, when it comes to Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Minimum Runtime, it just can't go through and always said "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource
that is unavailable."

Windows installer is running well, I've tried different copies, ran the program install and uninstall troubleshooter, and also tried to delete a specific registration key. None worked. I was wondering what happened......Thanks!!!

Microsoft Visual C++2017 x64 Minimum Runtime error

Andrew - many thanks for your helpful response.

Firstly, I found no changes were needed regarding your first paragraph on virtual memory.
The checkbox beside: ‘Automatically manage paging file size for all drives’ was already ticked.

Next, I successfully installed x86: vc redist.x86.exe but could not install x64: vc redist.v64.exe.



The first error window was headed: Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime – 14.20.27508
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package ‘vc_runtimeMinimum_x64msi’ in the box below.
The box was headed ‘Use source’ and offered, C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{03EBF679-E8…

The next error window stated: The path ‘C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{03EBF679-E886-38AD-8E70-28658449F7F9}v14.14.26429\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\vc_runtime cannot be found.
Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package ‘vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi’ in a folder from which you can install the product Microsoft Visual C++2017 x64 Minimum Runtime – 14.14.26429.

{03EBF679-E886-38AD-8E70-28658449F7F9}v14.14.26429 does not appear in the list in ProgramData/Package Cache on my computer.

The last error window that appeared stated: ‘The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime – 14.20.27508 cannot be removed’

I retried installing x64: vc redist.v64.exe in Clean Boot mode but had the same error messages.



I have not attempted to go any further in your list of recommended actions.
Any ideas please?

Tony
