Cannot find Visual C++ Redistributable 2015

Question

Hi!

I'm trying to install Visual C++ Redistributable 2015, but it's always say there's another newer version installed, hence the setup failed.

The thing is I cannot find that version in my computer, not in Uninstaller or anything to uninstall or repair.

What can I do?

Here's the log file

Answer 1

Glad you got it working.

Answer 2

I actually tried it, but well :)

Anyway I finally got it to work, but only after I clean reinstalled Windows. It took time but well it did it. I'm not sure what the problem was though, might be some registry keys.

All in all, thanks for your help!

Answer 3

Try these links instead:

Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (32bit)

https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/9...

Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 (64bit)

https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/3/F/9...

If that does not work, install the 2017 version instead:

Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (32bit)

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746571

Download Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (64bit)

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572

Answer 4

Thank you for your response, but I've got no luck.

I tried to use the software you provided to uninstall every Visual C++ Redist available in my computer, and then I installed them again. It all worked, except 2015 version which always pops the message of setup failed.

I should note that the 2015 one was nowhere to be found, not in the Uninstaller or anywhere, yet the problem was a newer version had been installed?!

Answer 5

Use Revouninstaller to uninstall all existing installations of the Visual C++ Redistributable:
