If you install the redistributable below with the Visual Studio 2019 redistributable already installed,
There is an issue where runtime configuration files in the Windows\System32 folder are removed.

Redistributable packages with issues
+) vcredist_x64(x86).exe 14.29.30038.0
+) vcredist_x64(x86).exe 14.29.30037.0
Note) 14.29.20037.0 redistribution package works normally.

Reproduce
+) Run vcredist_x64 /install with the redistributable packager installed
+) The same issue occurs even when /repair is executed multiple times
