Windows 10: 0x80070652 Error when trying to Install C++ Redistributable

So I have a friend that is running Windows 11 Home x64 who has encountered an issue recently where a lot of the games he plays are telling him he needs to update his C++ Runtime package.However, every time he's tried to update by downloading the most recent package, it's throwing him the error code 0x80070652 which implies another installer being open.So far we've:Checked for a process in Task Manager - there was none.Did DISM sfc /scannow and repaired the corrupted files that were found, then restarted. No change in progress so we then did a disk cleanup and removed temporary files and rest

Visual C++ Redistributable won't install?

This issue might if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package is not installed properly.

I suggest you to uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package to check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the exiting Microsoft Visual C++.

a) Press Windows key + x key and select
Programs and Features.

b) Right click on the Microsoft Visual C++ and uninstall it.

Step 2: Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ and install it.

Refer to the below link:

Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Official Microsoft Download Center

 

C++ redistributable

Sometimes when i install games, at the end they require two other components:
directX update and C++ 2005 redistributable.
Now the question is: This C++ 2005 means that the game was written in MSVC 2005?
*Wtf :wtf:

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.



Unfortunately you do not get an option to download visual c++ 2005 redistributable on Windows 10.



If you get this error while installing a program, you may try running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 7 or below.



Try the following steps:

• 
  Right click on the program and click on properties
  
• 
  Click on Compatibility tab
  
• 
  Check the box “Run the program in compatibility of”
  
• 
  Select the previous windows version and see”
