Visual C++ Installation Error

[Trev Mailloux]

Sincevcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe files correspond to Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013, I provided a location to packages after downloading them (third option on the screenshot). After that the installation went smoothly.

are Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 required for installing of Visual Studio 2015, is there any prerequisites for installing of Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10, may be i'm missing something obvious?

For me, I ended up having to install VS2015 on a train, and using up my entire mobile phone's 2Gb monthly data allowance, as although it claimed only one package was corrupted, it ended up re-acquiring everything.

Specifically, we were running a clean-up script on past pre-release web-installers for Visual Studio, but the script got too aggressive and deleted vcredist_x86.exe even though the RTM product still needed that particular package. Once we realized the error, we re-published and re-mapped that package so that web installs should now work correctly.

i apologize up front: this is not going to directly answer the OP's question, but when i searched around for "a setup package is either missing or damaged" while trying to offline-install (from unpacked ISO) VS2105 on my (corporate, internet-starved) build server, there were lots of others with same problem with very little help, and this was the top 1 google hit for that dreaded error message...

here's the deal: i was setting up TFS build agent on corporate server with all kinds of security lock down (including access to internet) from an MSDN subsription VS2015w/U3 ISO (unpacked). ran installer - got the error. after rifling through not-so-helpful SO/MS Connect/etc postings, i was able to glean that the digital signatures on some of the sub-packages were failing validation.

if you know anything about PKIs, read this paragraph if you want, if not skip. there was mention that certain CRLs and CA chains were pushed out via Windows updates/patches. who knows if this server has been patched... it certainly could not do it through automatic win updates. in a nut shell, i needed some way to get those missing items so that the digital signature verification would pass. i thought to myself "why would it work on my local machine, because it is on the same patching schedule as the server (presumably, i don't know for sure)". then it occurred to me that one reason MS offers web installers is just this problem... it then occurred to me that they might have a "best effort" kind of strategy for resolving this kind of thing in their offline installer.

what i needed was the ability to run the installer on the server, but somehow get it internet access. so i opened Fiddler, allowed other machines to connect to it, configured the server's internet connection settings >> LAN settings to use my machine as a proxy. first make sure that HTTPS is enabled in Fiddler, then open it up, turn in on, go back to your server (that you configured to proxy via your machines IP address and the port that Fiddler uses; default is 8888) and run the installer. you can actually watch the PKI activity in the request captured by Fiddler, among other http-based traffic). the key of this proxy approach is that the server can get what it need from the web, while all that traffic appears to be coming from your machine, from the network firewall's point of view.

I also had this problem. But I noticed that the problem occured only when I opened a new user ( not admin ). I made the user admin and it worked fine. You should try it, I think that is the sollution to your problem.

I was facing the same problem. First I tried the online installation and faced above problem, then I tried to install VS2015 from ISO but it was also giving an error saying "Product version which is higher than what you are trying to install is already installed in the device". I read many post on this but none of them had solved my issue. Finally I went to control panel and uninstalled a Visual studio Updater program. Then offline installation worked for me.

I tried most of the items listed with VS 2013, VS 2015 and VS 2017 Community Edition, and all of them failed somewhere during the installation, or failed while installing Data Tools, or the Data Tools did not work correctly (SSIS VSTA Script Editor Not Displaying in VS2015). When I tried with VS 2017 Professional, the installation was seamless for Studio and for Data Tools, with Data Tools functioning correctly at the end.

Download the proper VS2015 iso file from here (in my case it was "Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with Update 3"). Right-click on the downloaded iso file and select "Mount". Then on the VS2015 installer, when it asks you for the path of the package, refer to the mounted folder. Hopefully, that will solve your problem.

Perhaps a very stupid thing for me to do, but I had deleted the mounted drive after installing VS2015. Hence the installer was trying to access a non existing path when doing the modification. Just remounting the iso image made sure that the path got created again and I was able to proceed after that.

I have solved the issue just installed the missing setup manually. Track out which one is showing missing or damaged then search same one in the setup folder and manually install during that main installation.Note:- Don't cancel the main setup after mannual installation please select the Skip option and then continue.

I have window 7, downloaded Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 With Update 2 exe installer. It had the same issue as this post at beginning when running the installer as Administrator - "Run as administrator". It was installed fine second time by just double clicking on the installer - run as a user, and the installer prompted the user to enter administrator's credential, enter the credential, then installed successfully.

Check that and download what you need there or you might find that you just need to update Microsoft Visual C++ as stated on the error, but I also suggest updating everything there because you might still need it on your future programs. I think those with the C++ as I've done that before and had a similar problem just like that when installing a python package for creating WorldCloud visualization.

This error can happen when using the latest version of Python, e.g. 3.12, because the package wheels were only built for earlier versions of Python. So you have to build them by yourself.

I encounered the above-mentionned problem when using virtualenv. Using conda environment instead solved the problem. Conda automatically installs vs2015_runtime which compiles the wheels with no problem.

I've tried to download and install the new Acid Pro 10 update since yesterday morning. I've researched the web via Microsoft forums as well as some other tech forums saying to go to the control panel and repair them. I have done so, and it has not changed the outcome. I'm running on a currently updated Windows 10 OS on a Lenovo Legion laptop.

Also, I have pinpointed that it is one specific version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64). It is version 12.0.40660.0 - It is listed amongst all the other up-to-date C++ packages, but there is no file size listed in the details, as there are for every other file. I have researched in circles trying to find a way to correct this, but I have not found a solution, or it is too advanced for me to understand it. I'm not sure which. Please help. Thank you.

I have attempted that method. The specific version that I listed in my original post is not included in that download. When I attempted to update the acid pro software again, the "ghost file" I listed in my original post reappeared, but with no file size. I'm really at a loss here.

I figured it out! I had to uninstall all the Microsoft Visual C++'s that were updated after the 12.0.40660.0 version. Then I did the Acid Pro 10 update. It ran through all the prompts and then said it needed all the Microsoft Visual C++'s I had just uninstalled, and offered to install them back in for me to complete the Acid Pro 10 update installation. Good to go. Thanks for offering your suggestions. I appreciate it!

I have gone through this process. I have uninstalled all C++ installed after 2012, I have installed via the download file from Microsoft and it still will not work. Also, now I cannot start ACID at all because "VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found". It says to reinstall the program, but I can't reinstall because of the C++ error. Any other suggestions? This is EXTREMELY frustrating.

I don't know what else to do. I posted what worked for me. The only other thing I could think of is a complete uninstall/Reinstall. I haven't tried that, myself so I don't know for sure if that will work.

@Larry-McGee Is your Windows 10 Installation up to date? Is there maybe an update that wasn't completely installed and now causes these problems? -us/windows/windows-update-troubleshooter-for-windows-10-19bc41ca-ad72-ae67-af3c-89ce169755dd

OS is up to date. Troubleshooter found no problems. It seems to me that C++ 2013 is loaded, but not recognized by the Acid Pro 10 update program. I think that it's a problem with the update routine. BTW, uninstall & reinstall doesn't work either. HMMMM

@Larry-McGee I found this comment that describes a registry modification. This is not very helpful because it talks about C++2017 but maybe there is a way to do it the same way with C++2013. Are you familiar with editing the Windows registry?

I am struggling with the installation of Intel Parallel Studio XE 2019 Update 1. I am currently trying to initialise the tools (post installation) in command prompt, but I am receiving the following error message: 'ERROR: Visual Studio 2013, 2015 or 2017 is not found in the system'.

I am using a windows 10 machine with a 64intell architecture. I had installed Visual Studio Community 2017 prior to the Parallel Studio installation. I have also installed Windows 10 SDK on this machine.
