Hi Glenn,
I have reviewed the issue, and from my understanding , the error message "This app cannot be run on your PC" can occur for various reasons when trying to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Package. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
- Check System Compatibility
Ensure you are downloading the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) of the Visual C++ Redistributable that matches your operating system:
• If your OS is 32-bit, download the x86 version.
• If your OS is 64-bit, you may need both x86 and x64 versions.
- Download the Latest Version
Make sure you're downloading the latest version of the Visual C++ Redistributable:
• Visit the official Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable page.( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/l...)
• Choose the appropriate package (x86 or x64) based on your system architecture.
- Run as Administrator
Try running the installer as an administrator:
• Right-click on the downloaded installer file and select Run as administrator.
- Check for Windows Updates
Ensure your system is fully updated, as pending updates might interfere with installation:
• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
I hope these steps help resolve your issue. If you need further assistance, feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Arvind
