Unable to install any application Error: Microsoft.VC90.CRT. version= "9.0.30729.6161"

Question

<Original title: Microsoft.VC90.CRT. version= "9.0.30729.6161", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchetecture= "x86", type="win32">

Hi everyone-

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what is going wrong with several applications I've tried to install on my Windows 7 machine.

This error message was from attempting to install Plex Media Server software.  I've had a similar error when attempting to install the latest version of ITunes.

I've run Advanced System Care Pro and this hasn't helped. Not sure where to go from here. While I know a bit about pc's, I am not familiar with messing around in the Registry...

I've also run it as Administrator, with the same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!
