Answer 1

My name is Jonathan Deives. I'm an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to help you today.

Did you install Visual C++ (2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022) and older ones (2012 and 2010)?

You must install both the x86 and x64 versions.

Answer 2

Thank you for your reply, Jonathan.

Yes, I have installed both x86 and x64 and the older versions of Visual C++.

Answer 3

Could you send a screenshot of the error?

Answer 4

This is the error that pops up. I only get it when I try to install or run Nvidia related programs. Should I try to click retry (forsøg igen) it will either close the program I'm trying to run or reappear.

Try using the SFC commands to see if you have any corrupted files.

If the problem persists, you may need to repair Windows, use the upgrade to repair without losing your files.
