I want to install software including Visual Studio, however, there is on issue –
the Visual C++ component doesn’t install properly, giving error.
What I did:
I ran the uninstaller tool from MS
https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/E/9/7E9188C0-2511-4B01-8B4E-0A641EC2F600/MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab
and uninstalled all VC++ Redistributable (including runtime) instances for x86 and x64,
so there is absolutely no trace of Visual C++
Also cleaned the registry, rebooted. Many times.
Then I try to install the latest version from
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-160
x86 installs fine, but x64 always gives error no matter what. Error is:
“The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 x64 Minimum Runtime – 14.38. cannot be removed”
and at the end:
“0x80070643 Fatal error during installation”
The log file is here:

Because of this, Visual Studio doesn’t install properly either (at the end it gives warning)
Question is how can I install this component properly.
