Hello MohaKShin,

Thank you for your question and for reaching out with your question today.

Error 1935 during the installation of VC++ 2008 redistributable typically indicates an issue with the installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime components. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the error:

1. Run the installation as an administrator: Right-click on the installer file and select "Run as administrator" to ensure you have sufficient privileges to install software on your system.
2. Disable antivirus and firewall: Temporarily disable any antivirus or firewall software running on your computer. Sometimes, these programs can interfere with the installation process.
3. Perform a clean boot: Perform a clean boot to start Windows with a minimal set of startup programs and services. This helps eliminate any conflicts that might be causing the error. Instructions for performing a clean boot can be found on the Microsoft support website.
4. Install using the offline installer: Instead of using the web installer, try downloading the offline installer for VC++ 2008 redistributable from the Microsoft website. The offline installer package is larger in size but does not require an internet connection during the installation process.
5. Install Windows updates: Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date with the latest updates. Install any pending updates from Windows Update and then try installing VC++ 2008 redistributable again.
6. Use the System File Checker (SFC) tool: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command: sfc /scannow. This will scan your system for any corrupted system files and attempt to repair them.
7. Repair or reinstall the .NET Framework: VC++ redistributable depends on the .NET Framework. Try repairing or reinstalling the .NET Framework on your system using the official Microsoft tools or utilities.

Can you believe it - in 2023 still random choices by providing copy+paste

voids not adding to the topic or explaining the error as such but wasting readers

time in expectation even to get a "Thanx" for?

These kind of posts add to the 40 kilo sum of his only, indicating lack of first life,

if not another crash dummy paid by MS for derailing a quite clear question.

What is missing: "Reinstall Windows from sraop" "Go for Mac".

Got the same problem - same with 2005 (this time aVC80 error) edition, when

I tried to install Nokia suite for my 8800. The Nokia installation software itself

even the 6x version cannot be finalised due to that.

Take care.

This is a core problem and MS should be able to deal with within its own

OS in the installation routine by itself, providind detailed infrormation why it

can't within all the restridubale installed, instead of turning things upside down

to the user side who falls into the hands of smarties like you eventually.

Upset?

Well once you may see me as a physician with a more severe problem and I'll don't answer

you but provide you multiple otions and guesses you'll understand why to refrain from this

kind rubbish as matter of courtesy!
