Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime - 14.32.31326 missing

If you are getting an error message that says "Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime - 14.32.31326 is missing," it means that your computer is missing a required component of the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library. This component is necessary for certain programs to run properly, and without it, you may experience errors or issues.

To fix this problem, you can try the following steps:

1. Install the missing component: The easiest way to fix this problem is to install the missing component. You can download it from the Microsoft website: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
   
2. Repair or reinstall the Visual C++ runtime library: If installing the missing component does not help, you may need to repair or reinstall the entire Visual C++ runtime library. To do this, you can use the "Programs and Features" control panel. Open the Start menu and type "programs and features" in the search bar. Select "Programs and Features" from the search results and find the entry for "Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime - 14.32.31326." Select it and click on the "Change" button. From here, you can choose to repair or reinstall
   

 

Cannot install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022

I was able to fix this in quite a few computers by doing the following:

1. First make sure all VC++ redistributable packages from 2015 onwards were uninstalled.
   
2. Open "regedit" and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products"
   
   1. Search within all the child keys that have a product name of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015...", "Microsoft Visual C++ 2019...", "Microsoft Visual C++ 2022...", etc.
      
   2. If you are having trouble with just the x64 version then you don't need to uninstall the x86 and its registry keys.
      
3. Try to install it again, it should work.
