I have downloaded the current Redistributable version 14.26.28720 and when I try to install it the install fails.


Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Minimum Runtime - 14.26.28720

This pops up.

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable


Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path t a folder containing the installation package 'vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi' in the box below.


There is a Browse button and the use source shows this information.

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'

when i clicked on cancel:

Visual C++ 2015-2019 x64 failure to install

Hi

My name is Jon and I am an independent technical adviser. Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues and I would really like to help you find a resolution.

This isn't a problem with the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 redistributable that you are trying to install. There is a Visual C++ 2015 redistributable already installed and the problem is with that.

The version of the redistributable that you are trying to install is trying to remove the old version of the Visual C++ redistributable, and this is failing.

To remove this redistributable, you must obtain a copy of the Visual C++ 2015 version 14.0.24215 and use that to remove the redistributable. It must be this exact version. Once you have done that then the Visual C++ 2015 - 2019 will install.

Hope this helps.
