Windows 10: Problem with installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022

The main problem is Visual 2022, both x64 and x86for some reason I can't upload a screenshot, so I have to type everythingI keep getting message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". If I click "OK" it says "The file 'C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{3BDE80F7-7EC9-448E-8160-4ADA0CDA8879}v14.22.27821\packages\vcRuntimeAdditional_x86\' is not a valid installation package...".If I click "Cancel" it says "The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Additional Runtime = 14.38.33130 cannot be removed."In the end it gives me this error code 0x80070643

Cannot install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022

I was able to fix this in quite a few computers by doing the following:

1. First make sure all VC++ redistributable packages from 2015 onwards were uninstalled.
   
2. Open "regedit" and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products"
   
   1. Search within all the child keys that have a product name of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015...", "Microsoft Visual C++ 2019...", "Microsoft Visual C++ 2022...", etc.
      
   2. If you are having trouble with just the x64 version then you don't need to uninstall the x86 and its registry keys.
      
3. Try to install it again, it should work.
