Visual c++ not installed?

Question

Hello,

I've been having problems like those in the thread https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-do-i-find-vcruntimeminiumx64msi-in-my-files/e580c6fd-b184-4493-8365-f6481458729e

I've tried to do as it is said in the answer, I deleted previously installed version of visual c++ 2015 (there are also versions 2008, 2010, 2012,2013 which I didn't delete and there were non of the versions 2017 or 2019 installed). Then when trying to install the version given in the response (both x64 and x84) the same problem occured. Seemingly I can't install visual c++ because I don't have visual c++.

Please help.

Regards.

Hi, thank you so much for replying, since the system repair did not work, we need to run a custom installation to fix the issue, however, the process will delete all apps but will retain all files on the PC, if you are okay with that, you may follow the steps provided below:

Step 1: Download ISO File.

Go to this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

Scroll down and click "Download Tool Now" then run the Media creation tool (the downloaded file)

If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.

On What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.

Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. This table will help you decide which edition of Windows 10 you’ll choose:

On Select which media you want to use click ISO file and save it to Desktop.

Step 2:

Once you are done downloading the ISO, right-click > Then click Mount

Then follow the steps from Number 4 to the last from this link:

Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Additional note: If the PC is connected to a company domain or network, I suggest contacting your IT support as that is one of the possible issues since they limit the permission on the PC.
