  1. security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 service pack 1 redistributable package...


    Recently all my Microsoft Office programs started being unable to load. I get the error message ""The application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000142." In trying to troubleshoot the problem, I got another error message, "Csecurity update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 service pack 1 redistributable package... :program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\c2rui.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. ... . Error status 0xc000012f." Researching that error status led me to this information: "Error 0xc000012f means that you lack the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable files which are prerequisites of other programs such as Microsoft Office. Windows searches our database and automatically include these files during the update to allow you to run those programs that requires scripting."


    It turns out that the day before the problem began, a security update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 service pack 1 redistributable package KB2538243 was supposedly successfully installed on 6/21/20. It seems likely that is the cause of the problem. However, that update does not appear when I look at the list of updates I could possibly uninstall. And when I research KB2538243, I can find it available to download in the Microsoft catalog, but it says there it was last updated on 5/30/17, so I can't see any reason why Microsoft would've installed that update to my computer this month.


    Any suggestions on how to get rid of this particular update or replace it with one that won't cause my Office programs to malfunction?

    My computer is a Dell XPS-18 All-in-One running Windows 10, using Office 2013.

    :)

    Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack Chinese Dialog Box

    When I try to run Windows Update it fails on "Security Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB2538243)."

    One of the fixes after search was to uninstall it and then run update again.

    When I click on it in Uninstall Programs I get a Windows Installer chinese dialog box.
