I am having troubles with Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 and x86. So when I run certain applications I will randomly get a pop up that look like that screenshot. So I have been trying to trouble shoot it all morning because I just bought Battlefield 6 and I cannot finish the install because of this issue. So far I have uninstalled both Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 and x86 but for some reason I cannot reinstall them to my computer. If anyone has any advice or knows how to fix this I will take it because I would like to get it resolved as soon as possible. Thank you!

Thanks for reaching out!

Issue:
The error “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable” appears when the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable installation source is missing or corrupted.

Please check the below steps:

  1. Uninstall existing Visual C++ 2015-2022 (x86 & x64)
    • Go to Control Panel → Programs and Features and remove all Visual C++ 2015-2022 entries.
      • Reboot the system.
      1. Run Microsoft Install/Uninstall Troubleshooter
        • Download and run the official tool from Microsoft to clean broken installer entries.
        1. Clear Package Cache
          • Delete Visual C++ related folders under C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\.
          1. Repair System Files
            • Run the following commands in Command Prompt (Admin):
  • sfc /scannow
  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

2.Download and Reinstall Latest Packages

3.Retry the Application:
           With the correct redistributable installed, attempted the installation of your battlefield 6 or whatever application caused the runtime prompt.
