Windows 10: The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Minimum Runtime - 14.29.30037 cannot be...

I can't uninstall this VC++ Redistributable. I've had this problem for months and this morning I thought I would tackle it. I read different community posts and saw that I needed to uninstall all of my other redistributables and redownload them, as a frequent error was that earlier redistributables that had been downloaded had caused the new redistributables to be uninstalled. I still have this error whenever I uninstall:I still get this error even after I tried uninstalling every older redistributable. 2015-2019 x86, 2010 x64 and x86, and 2013 x64 and x86.If you guys have a solution to this,

Error installing Visual C++ 2019 X86 Minimum Runtime

I installed a couple versions of Microsoft Visual C++ for my new windows 10 system. However, when it comes to Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Minimum Runtime, it just can't go through and always said "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource
that is unavailable."

Windows installer is running well, I've tried different copies, ran the program install and uninstall troubleshooter, and also tried to delete a specific registration key. None worked. I was wondering what happened......Thanks!!!

 

Unable to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.27.29112

I tried both solutions - installing and running the Install and Uninstall troubleshooter, and deleting the related keys in the registry.

When running the troubleshooter, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 were not visible on the list of programs. However, Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 and below was.

When going into the registry, none of the files located in that directory could be found when searching "C++ 2019 x86 Minimum Runtime - 14.27.29112".
However, searching "14.27.29112" yielded some keys, which were deleted. The computer was restarted afterwards. Still, when attempting to install the latest Visual C++ 14.27.29112, the same error is given.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues with installing Visual C++ 2019 on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions
below:



1.
Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?

2.
How did you obtain the installation files for Visual C++ 2019?



Refer the article Which
version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try running the troubleshooter for installing apps on Windows. Refer the article

Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed and see if that helps.



In addition, you can try downloading the installation files for Visual C++ 2019 from the

Microsoft website and see if you are able to install.



Let us know how it goes.
