    This is how I fixed my issue - Very quickly!

    I was trying to install C++ 2019 v14.26xx and getting the .msi error. So going backwards I went to Add/Remove programs and looked for the last version of C++ installed which was C++ 2017 V11.xx (x86 & x64). I removed both which gave the error that they were already uninstalled and asked to remove them from the list. Which I did.

    Then went to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products and found the keys for C++ 2017 I just removed. (there were 4 total 2 x86 & 2 x64). I deleted all 4 keys then ran the C++ 2019 package I originally had the issue with. It installed with no issues.

    Hope this helps

    Hello EirikMagnus, my name is Farah and I'm an Independent Adviser. I can help you regarding this problem

    download the 2019 version of C++ from this link, and when running you reach the same window,. redirect it to the setup file that you downloaded from this link.

    all needed files should be collected from there.
