VC++ 2012

I have a game I'm trying to install.  As part of the install it wants to install Visual C++ redistributable 2012 (x64) 11.0.61030.  Whenever the vcredist_x64.exe is ran my computer instantly wants to reboot (even with /norestart being used).  The package is listed as installed under Apps & features, but if you try to repair it, it will instantly reboot the system.  If you just run vcredist_x64.exe it will instantly reboot the system.  I can uninstall it and it will instantly reboot the system and not be listed as installed anymore. But then the game will try to install it again, which will force a reboot, the game install never sees that the VC finished installing so it keeps trying, which keeps causing a reboot.  How can I identify what's broken in windows 10 that causes the VC 2012 package to behave this way?  It also runs installs for VC 2010 packages with no problem.

    The tool said it was unable to resolve the issue and sent logs to Microsoft for analysis.

    Hi Psybermage

    My name is Sarah Kong and I am an independent adviser that is here to try and help you with your issue.

    This maybe an issue with a system file being corrupt.

    You can try a couple things.

    Right click your start button and select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    In Command prompt type sfc /scannow and press enter.

    Restart the computer.

    If that doesn't work then try this,

    Right click your start button and select Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.

    In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands.

    Press Enter key after each command:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Important: When you run this command, DISM uses Windows Update to provide the files that are required to fix corruptions.

    To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.

    Restart your computer.
