error while installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package (x64)

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive an error, ‘0x80240017’ when trying to install Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable package. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



How are you trying to install Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable package?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned below and see if that helps:



Method 1: Reset components



We can try resetting the Windows components and see if that helps.

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
   
3. Type or paste the command and hit enter:
   
   net stop wuauserv
   
   net stop cryptSvc
   
   net stop bits
   
   net stop msiserver
   
   ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
   
   ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
   
   net start wuauserv
   
   net start cryptSvc
   
   net start bits
   
   net start msiserver
   
4. Close command prompt window.
   

Method 2: Remove Visual C++ and reinstall



I would also suggest you to check if Visual C++ is already installed. To check type appwiz.cpl in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter. If Visual C++ is already installed, I would suggest you to try uninstalling it and then installing it. To
uninstall Visual C++, refer the section Uninstall from the Control Panel (for programs)
under Uninstall or remove apps and programs in the article

Repair or remove programs in Windows 10.



Method 3: Run DISM Command



You may also want to try running the DISM command and see if that helps.
To do this, refer the steps mentioned in the article Using System File Checker
in Windows 10.



Let us know how it goes.

Visual C++ Redistributable wants msi file to uninstall

Hi, i hope you're doing good today.

Maybe an older version of Microsoft Visual C++ is blocking the installation. We suggest uninstalling all Microsoft Visual C++ from the control panel before trying to install the new MS Visual C++. Follow the steps below:

Open Control Panel.

Click Programs, then click Programs and Features.

Locate All Microsoft Visual C++, then click Uninstall in all of them.

After uninstalling the program, try to install the version that you're having the problem again.

Regards.
