I was able to delete all with x86 but not the two with x64 when i tried to install them again i get another errorAny help on this would be appreciated.

need specific VC redist packages for repair of installed vc redist packages

I have discovered that i have a damaged VC redist package, on my system, which may or may not be causing some of the issues i have been having recently. the Packages are listed in the apps & features as:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 Additional Runtime - 11.0.61030

Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 x64 Minimum Runtime - 11.0.61030

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 x64 Additional Runtime - 12.0.21005

i have tried searching with google and have even downloaded a couple of vc redist packages from the ms download site, but i cant seem to find the right version to perform the needed repairs. the version I found online I already had installed, and did not
need repairs. The ones listed above as needing repairs have both the modify and uninstall buttons greyed out, so simply uninstalling them is not possible. I have absolutely no idea which program installed or needs those particular version of the vc redists.
If someone - anyone, can provide me with links for downloading those versions listed above of the redist packages, i would be ever so grateful.

 

Error: Missing VCRUNTIME140.dll: Which VC++ Redistributable year ?

When I run a certain program an error popup appears: Error 'The application was unable to load a required component VCRUNTIME140.dll' I guess a Microsoft VC++ Redistributable library (version 1.40) is missing. But which exactly? As far as I know VC++ Runtime are labelled by year e.g. Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime Is there a table showing VCRUNTIME-Version -to-Visual C++ Year equivalents? Which library bitness is required 64bit or 32bit? I found an all-in-one Package for ALL VC++ Redistributables. But where can I download single runtimes?

 

Runtime 14.36.32532 error

Ken,

Is it the x86 or x64 version causing the error? Please post a screenshot of the error. Or upload the VC++ redist setup log (stored in your %temp% folder.)

Or try the troubleshooting steps listed here → vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi - Microsoft Community and here → Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime.
