How can I fix Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 X64 Minimum Runtime error during installing Redistributable packages (VC_redist.x64.exe, VC_redist.x86.exe)?


During installation I get "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" and prompt to specify some path to vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi. After providing some path to required file I get error states that this file doesn't match required version Minimum Runtime 14.14.26405. enter image description here


Solution

  • I finally found the solution reading this question: Install vcredist_x64 with VS2017 installer project

    I realized that specific VC_Redist.x64.exe files could be downloaded by links like https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/26405.00/VC_Redist.x64.exe, where 26405.00 is exactly the version I was required to fix. Note, that you need version from error text after clicking OK, not from window title.

    And the last point is that this exe must be executed from cmd with argument /repair to help me with this issue. Regular execution by double click made no effect.
