Windows 10: Visual C++ 2013 redistributable

I am trying to install an application: Qualcomm Package Manager. The install aborts with the following message:


Please install Visual C++ 2013 redistributable for QIK/QPM to function correctly


I have installed Visual C++ 2013 redistributable yet continue to receive the same error message when attempting to install Qualcomm Package Manager. I don't know what to try next. The application to install doesn't recognize VC++ 2013 redistributable as installed, yet I have been through the steps to install the redistributable. I do not know how to verify the installation of Visual C++ 2013 redistributable, nor how to uninstall and reinstall. All help appreciated.

:)

H Raniel,



Thank you for your reply. I have followed your instructions with following results:

* troubleshooter was not able to uninstall Visual c++ 2013 redistributable. However I was able to uninstall by going to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features

as you pointed out above.

* I enabled the administrator account -- I had to use Windows Powershell (Admin) because cmd (Admin) was is not provided as an option

* I disabled the antivirus/firewall as you suggested.

* I successfully installed Visual C++ 2013 redistributable

This still did not work.

However, I had installed the 64b redistributable, as my processor is 64bit. I installed the 32bit redistributable, this has worked. Not sure but I guess the Application that needs the redistributable is buitl for 32bit only.

Thank you for taking the time to read my concern and post your reply.

Hi Scott,

No worries. I'm glad that you are able to resolve the issue by installing the 32bit redistributable package for Visual C++ 2013. Just let me know if you have other concerns.
