Hello @sitry sharf ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

It seems that Windows Installer(MSI) is not supported on Nano Server, so VC_redist.x64.exe won’t run on Nano Server.

You need to copy the binaries manually(install VS > make sure to select "Desktop Development with C++" workload and the components like MSVC v143 - VS 2022 … > go to the corresponding CRT folder, for example, for VS 2022 Community, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Redist\MSVC\14.XX.XXXXX\onecore\x64\Microsoft.VC14X.CRT > copy everything under this CRT folder to C:\Windows\System32 in your nanoserver image).

Best Regards,

Tianyu
