    MS Visual C++2019 / Installation errors


    Hi everyone,


    I hope someone can help. Trying to install games or drivers, I constantly get a pop-up stating:

    "The feature you are tryig to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available. Insert the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x64 Minimum Runtime -14.0.24210" disk and click OK"


    Now, when installing that file, I get an error that a newer version is already installed. Trying to install the 2017 version, I can't find the file in my downloads/library, and end up with the same error. When trying to install the 2019 version, installation works, but I still get the pop-ups.

    I am trying to install a tablet for designing, which does not work due to this issue. I'd very much appreciate any ideas that are understandable for someone who does not have extended computer knowledge.

    Thank you very much in advance.


    Best,

    Jankel.

    Location: Germany

  2. Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ msi wont install.

    Hi,

    Software conflicts are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. Based on the error message you provided, an older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 is blocking the installation. We suggest uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 from the control
    panel before trying to install the new MS Visual 2017. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click Programs, then click Programs and Features.
    • Locate Microsoft Visual 2017 C++, then click Uninstall.
    After uninstalling the program, try to install Microsoft Visual 2017 C++ again.

    Get back to us with the outcome so we can help you further.

  3. Visual C++ 2015-2019 x64 failure to install

    I've been trying to install Visual C++ 2015-2019 x64 for some time now but every time I try no matter what I do I get the error the older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 x64 minimum runtime 14.24.28127 can not be removed

    I also get told that it can't find the path to vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi again this is for visual c++ 2019 x64 part.

    MS Visual C++2019 / Installation errors

    Installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10 PC kills some of the installed virtual printers

    I recently installed an updated version of VMWare Player which also installed
    Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (both x86 and x64 flavors). After this install I noticed that some virtual printers on my Windows 10 Pro PC no longer worked.

    By "virtual printers" I mean installed printers that print to files or print directly into other applications (see the list further below).

    By "no longer worked" I mean:

    • I can no longer print to these printers from any app
    • Windows pops up an error "Operation could not be completed" if I try to access the Printing Preferences
    • Windows pops up an error "Test page failed to print... The specified module could not be found" if I try to print a Test Page
    • These not-working printers show up as "offline" if I try to select them from within Microsoft Office applications like Excel, Word, etc.

    I figured out the problem is directly related to the install of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 by this series of experiments:

    1. I tried uninstalling/re-installing some of the virtual printers (such as Bullzip PDF Printer), but this did not fix the problem
    2. I used System Restore to restore to a point just before the VMWare Player and
      Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installations.
      • All of the virtual printers now worked again
    3. I downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 (both x86 and x64 flavors) directly from Microsoft's "The latest supported Visual C++ downloads" web page.
      • The virtual printers stopped working again
    4. I uninstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 (both x86 and x64 flavors) from Control Panel's Programs, then restarted the PC
      • After restart the virtual printers still didn't work
    5. I used System Restore to restore to a point just before theMicrosoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019
      installations.
      • All of the virtual printers now worked again

    Based on the above results it is clear to me that:

    • VMWare Player software is not the problem
    • The problem is related to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installation (and/or the later versions too)
    • The problem must be occuring during the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019 because uninstalling it doesn't make the problem go away
      • In other words - something during the installation process is making a permanent change which kills these virtual pdf printers, a System Restore is the only way to recover functionality
    It is interesting to note that only some of the virtual pdf printers on my PC are affected/killed by installation of
    Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019, there are other virtual pdf printers that continue to work OK.

    Here is the list of virtual pdf printers which continue to work OK after installation of
    Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019:

    • eDoc Printer PDF Pro
    • Foxit Reader PDF Printer
    • Microsoft Print to PDF

    Here is the list of virtual printers which no longer work after installation of
    Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019:

    • Bullzip PDF Printer
    • PaperPort Image Printer (from PaperPort v14)
    • Send to One Note 2010
    • Snagit 2019

    Clearly these virutal printers must be using some particular service/feature of Windows 10 that is being affected by the MS Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (and later) installation.

    For the record I'll note that I have many earlier-year versions of MS Visual C++ Redistributable installed on my PC - these do not affect the virtual printers.

    This is a very serious problem/bug for me. I use the virtual printers all the time but realize that as time goes by various software updates (like VMWare Player) will want to install MS Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (and later) which will then kill some
    of my virtual printers.

    I look forward to hearing from anyone who can provide insight and hopefully a fix for this issue.

    Thanks!
