Hello Vyrek, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

I understand that you want to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86);

When you try to uninstall do you get any error message?

You can try using a third party application to uninstall this package;

Download and install Revoo Uninstaller:https://www.revouninstaller.com/products/revo-u...

Open the application and click on Uninstaller;

Select Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) from the list, right click and select Uninstall;

Hope this helps, see you soon!

 

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.
