Hi @Semih Çam , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Please check if the vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi file is stored in the path mentioned in the error message. And could you share me the information which the middle window shows?
The specified file does not exist at this path. There is no {A94EC1B2-932B-49D7-8AF2-4FBD29FF314B}v14.23.27820 folder in the Pacage Cache folder.
Hi @Semih Çam , thanks for sharing me the screenshot. Please try to use this troubleshooter to uninstall the related installed Visual C++ redistributable packages, and then reinstall it again. Besides, are you using any extension?

Hi @bobber botcser ,
If you download and run troubleshooter tool, and then select Installing, will you see Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X64/X86 Minimum Runtime listed there? If it listed there, please select to uninstall it and then reinstall it again.
Besides, please make sure that you are installing the Redistributable package which was downloaded from here: Latest Supported Visual C++ Redistributable Downloads.
Hi, @Tianyu Sun-MSFT
This is a solution to A PROBLEM with installing a specific program, but NOT a solution to the MAIN PROBLEM. Try to install WinSDK, for which you will need to remove about 50 components in this way. It will take you 12 hours.
The main problem: msiexec wants to remove the program through its uninstall written in the register by cache {}, and if it does not find it on the file system (c:\ProgramData\Package Cache), it does not allow to do anything!
They say msizap can help, but how to install it if Winsdk is not installed (Msi dev component).
Hi @bobber botcser ,
If the path in "Use source" box shows the detailed id(like {XXXXXXX-XXXX-…}), probably it still exists in the Registry. Is it possible for you to manually find and remove the specific key in Registry(press Win + R > run regedit > navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products search for the id)?
If Registry doesn’t include it, you may need to try to find the source for this specific version and download the setup file, install the package but point it this newly downloaded setup file.
