vc_runtimeminimum_x64.msi missing during CW update

[jm52]

Again, when installing the CW update this error is displayed "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable..."

I click cancel and the installation proceeds.

I attempt to install the VC_redist.x64.exe installer, which is supposed to fix the issue,  and get the same error...

One of the suggestions to fix the error is to uninstall all c++ app installs.   Like hours and hours and then what won't work until i put them all in again.

 

Anybody got ideas?

vc_runtimeminimum_x64.msi

It looks like something is messed up with the Windows redist installer state. Uninstalling and reinstalling might be the only solution, or you can contact Microsoft support who may be able to help.

Thank you.

I removed all the runtime thangs.

And now, some of the older dx apps don't work....   Eg:   The Multi Voice Chorus Flanger

I have dozen of very old projects that use a bunch of old effects. Not looking forward to more disappointments.

Gonna try reinstalling... I have most versions from cw9 ---

Read some bits about how it might not be possible to reinstall the earlier version of the runtimes.

Good times.

Did you install the redist installer linked above?
