Great. Please post a screenshot for the x86 error.

The cache of the previous VC++ redist x64 package is missing. Please run this installer:

Answer 4

Hi Macee, I'm Ramesh, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

Error 0x80070652 occurs if an instance of msiexec.exe is already running. Please open Task Manager and click on the Details tab.

Terminate all instances of msiexec.exe, and try running the setup again.

Alternatively, open an admin Command Prompt and run:

taskkill /im "msiexec.exe" /f

This closes all instances of msiexec.exe.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi there Ramesh! i appreciate you taking your time to help me out, it means a lot to me.

After i ended the task it seemed to help, but i ran into another problem.

I am not sure what this all means or what to do next
