Hello,

While trying to install nmap on my PC (running windows xp), I ran into a
message
that says "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) failed
to install (C:Program FilesNmapvcredist_x86.exe). Please ensure your system
meets the minimum requirements before running the installer again." This
happens when I try running "Nmap-5.51-setup.exe".

I looked through the documentation and didn't see any mention of system
requirements. My computer has 3.37 GB of RAM, a 3.21 GHz processor, and 1.54
GB
of free disk space. Also, I didn't get any messages saying that my hard drive
is running low on disk space while running the installation.

Has anyone else ever run into this problem? Nmap seems like a pretty standard
program. Why won't it install?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
