Windows 10: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 installer won't run on clean install of Windows...

After wiping my computer, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 or x64 Redistributable won't install. The installer doesn't even show up. A small window flashes briefly on the screen, and then nothing happens. The installer remains in the task manager indefinitely, and I can't end the task:



I have tried the following solutions:


Running sfc /scannow and determining that there are no faults in the operating system installation

Ensuring that I'm running the latest version of vcredist_x86.exe

Running the compatability troubleshooter and running the installer under the recommended settings

Uninstalling and reinstalling all Microsoft Visual C++ packages

Starting the "Windows Installer" service before running the installer

Ensuring that I'm running the installer as administrator.

Ensuring that my Windows updates are all installed

Running MSIEXEC/UNREGISTER & MSIEXEC/REGSERVER

Re-registering the following DLL files:

regsvr32 ntdll.dll /s

regsvr32 msdxm.ocx /s

regsvr32 dxmasf.dll /s

regsvr32 wmp.dll /s

regsvr32 wmpdxm.dll /s
Performing another factory reset on my computer and trying again.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. As it stands I have a cleanly installed operating system and I'm unable to install the software I need to do my work.

Thanks

:)

I can't install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Hello Vitoca,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I request you to refer the steps below:

• Remove any existing Internet security programs (antivirus/antispyware software).
• Uninstall other antivirus/antispyware software on the machine prior to installing
  Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
• Antivirus/antispyware software may not uninstall completely and it would require running the appropriate cleanup tool to do a clean uninstall. These tools are typically found within the product sites. After completing a clean uninstall using the
  clean up tools, reboot the PC machine, and then install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
• Make sure that the Windows Installer service is running

I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.



Thank you.
