Visual C++ Redistributable Repair

[Shu Manwill]

Helloeveryone, I tried to install wireshark with windows x64 but i've got the following error :"wireshark error the visual c++ redistributable installer failed with error 5. Unable to continue installation. "

Killing the repair will require a reboot. If one tries to uninstall immediately after a killed repair, a message comes up about an install in progress. Rebooting seems to be the only thing to clear whatever flags have been left by the repair process.

Killed it. Rebooted. Found vs_community.exe. Entered the command vs_community.exe /uninstall /force. It has been sitting doing not a lot for a few hours apart from 'Applying: Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Diagnostic Tools - x86'. Those five little dots come in, join up, and fly away again, over and over again. And again. And again. ...

I've stumbled on a way of speeding up the uninstall. If you reboot, Visual Studio remembers where you were in the uninstall and picks up again where you left off, but one uninstall subtask further on.

Today I was going to reboot again then cancelled out of it. Suddenly the uninstall started moving quickly. A while after that it had stalled again. So again I went to reboot and then cancelled it. Again the uninstall picked up speed and worked through more subtasks. Now the blue "Applying" progress bar is 3/4 through rather than sitting for days at 1/10.

The install/repair/uninstall time depends on the machine specifications only when it is going smoothly (in the ideal case). In case some thing(s) is conflicting, the setup simply stuck at initial stages for hrs.

This canceled sign-out as suggested by @Joe indeed pushed the progress bar, but I have to repeat it like a dozen of times. Still no better solution found. Also, After passing all of the components, in the final step of house keeping it again stuck for all night. Canceled Sign-out was no more effective. Eventually I have to force close the setup. BUT all this patience paid in the end, Visual Studio started properly without the warning of incomplete installation.

It sounds like something is indeed blocking the repair process as well as the uninstall process. Since visual studio is quite large (if you selected everything to install, it is indeed very large), it will take it a bit of time to repair itself depending on what is installed and what exactly is wrong with it.

My first thoughts of why it is hanging, could be due that your hard drive is powering down from lack of activity, part of windows way of saving power especially on laptops, also could be because its going to sleep as well, both of which is known to cause problems with programs that take a while to do things. So you can try going into the power options and then to the advanced power options and either set to power down the hard drive to be a higher time or set it to never same with sleep.

If you have an Anti-virus and/or Anti-Malware programs, then its quite possible that these are affecting the repair/uninstall process as they are most likely causing a read/write lock on the files that visual studio is trying to modify or repair etc. Some anti-viruses and anti-malware programs scan files as they are created or written to which causes problems with some programs. So try disabling these during the time of fixing visual studio.

If you still can't do anything, an alternative would be to forcefully remove the visual studio by deleting the folder from where it is installed at, usually in program files or program files x86, then go to control panel click uninstall and it should say its already uninstalled or it says there is an error would you like to remove it from the programs list, click yes. Then with a reboot, you should be able to install visual studio again. Not the most ideal way of reinstalling a program but it does work most of the time.

Had the same problem. After blocking the antivir activity, the speed of uninstalling raised about 100-1000 times. It is still slow, yes, but I see as the progress bar moves.

Just installed 7.18.0.0 and it crashes on startup. I have .NET 4.8 installed. I have chatted with tech support, and so far the only advice I have been given is to follow the suggestions on the website (permissions, old config, etc.). Has anyone successfully installed this on Win 7 Pro? Can anyone point me to an older version that works?

A few years ago, people had issues with the GE / Windows 7 combo. I remember that people got some resolution by running the Microsoft .NET repair tool and reinstallting the Visual redistributable package. The .NET repair tools is at .NET Repair Tool. The Vusual C Redistributale is at Visual C. Rebot after checking the two components and then retest.

Whilst your in the "Garmin Downloads"folder review all paths and see which old versions of stuff you no longer want - some old maps are the really big files and can clear a significant amount of disc space...
