Unable to install software package due to an unavailable redistribution package

143 views Asked by At

I'm trying to install a software package that needs the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistribution package. But I keep getting an error that the package isn't available on the computer.

It's a Windows 7 embedded machine and I need the 2005 redist for an older SDK.

I have both the x64 and the x86 installed on the pc aswell as the 2008 and 2010 packages. Also I have tried uninstalling all of the packages an reinstalling them (also rebooting while any changes were made) but the application still will not install. The redistributable packages have all been installed without errors so a faulty install isn't the case.

Also I have tried executing the installer with Administrator rights and so on but nothing seems to work.

I've been searching all over for a long time but I haven't found anything useful so any help will be appreciated
