When trying to uninstall Visual C++ I get the following error:
Here are the remaining versions of Visual C++ on my device:
When trying to install the latest Visual C++ I get this error:
I attempted to use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter from Microsoft, but the download link is broken. How can I proceed? I need to fix this issue in order to install the newest AMD graphics drivers on my device. Thanks!

For the first error message, does this VC_redist.x86.exe exists or not?
According to the error message, it seems the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable is corrupted on your computer, please try to download the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 and run it to repair. If it works fine, then install the latest Visual C++ again.
Both the x86 and x64 versions failed to install because I already have it installed on my device.
Have you tried the suggestion that I shared yesterday? We can try to use the msiinv.exe tool to fetch the product code then run the msiexex /x <product code> to uninstall the Visual C++ redistributable.
@Will V , have you tried the method about remove the related registry key? If not works, please feel free to let us know.
The Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter has been discontinued, instead, you can upgrade to Windows 10 and get troubleshooters that are built right in, for more detail information, please check this.

I'm having a similar problem but with the amd64 version.
I've attempted every way i could find but it always fails on the same step.
I would be very thankful if someone could at least say what is broken. Thanks.

I found a solution:
Using the Trouble Shooter (Works on Win 11 also):
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d
Remove the problematic Visual C++ (in my case all) and install fresh the complete package.
And now it works for me. Reason was old Visual C++ Package for win 10 mobile developing.

Sadly, NONE of these solved my issues. I turned off anything that could block, like CCleaner, etc. I ran things as admin if I could. I ran the MicrosoftProgramInstalUninstall tool, and it didn't resolve the issue. I've been trying to install the latest, 2022 version(s), tried them all, cleaned the registry, stripped every reference to Visual Studio, and STILL, i get this DAM3432!
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache{3093CC12-EF27-4036-AD72-A759500271E9}v14.29.30040\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_x86\
error, still searching for it, and it WON'T get passed it! No matter what version i install!
It's quite frustrating, as I get to a comment and it looks like something different, but I get the same result. Really lost what to do at this point.
