Hello
I tried to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Build tools.
The installer (filename is visualcppbuildtools_full.exe) stops right after the start of the installation it says a setup package is missing or damaged("Ein Setuppaket fehlt oder ist beschädigt"). The option to download it again doesnt work. Downloading the installer again doesnt help. Trying to do an offline installation doesnt work either and I get the same error.
How can I find out what exactly the problem is and how can I solve it?
Best Regards

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
It seems that your installation package is corrupted or damaged.
Please try to download the Visual C++ Build Tools from Microsoft download page and run it as administrator. During the installation, please temporarily disable any anti-virus software.Sincerely,

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Of course, I did everything as you suggested(download the Visual C++ Build Tools from Microsoft download page and run it as administrator. During the installation, please temporarily disable any anti-virus software.) You can find an installation log in the attachment.90414-dd-visualcppbuildtools-full-20210422195804.log Perhaps it will help shed light on what is happening. It seems the problem on the Microsoft side. -

2021-04-23T09:43:41.567+00:00 Dear customer, after checking your log, I found that the issue occurs in when downloading the package: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?prd=12514&pver=Dev14&sbp=d14rel&plcid=0x409&clcid=0x409&ar=25420.01&sar=S80_RCPrep&o1=1F0C5812581EFDCA1A2A9C3BCE802F53D7832D6E.
The package is temporarily unavailable. Can you skip the package to continue the installation? -

2021-04-22T07:02:19.84+00:00 Hello AnnaXiu-MSFT
thank you for your quick answer. I tried what you suggested and downloaded the installer again from the official microaoft website and run it as administrator and without any anti-virus software running in the background but it didnt help. I still get the same error. Isnt there a way to further investigate what underlying problem is causing this error?Best Regards
