Hi,


1612 is a wel documented error while installing VC runtimes on microsoft websites. The error is giving you pointers on how to solve this when it says "Download and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) from Microsoft website - www.microsoft.com".

After uninstalling both of these particular VC runtimes ( VC++ 2010 (x86) and (x64)), reinstall from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019667. Also, make sure you do install the security update as well from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999.

Regards,

Any new luck on this? I had to "refresh" my PC which uninstalled all apps. However, I'm in the process of downloading Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop...will this fix the problem?

Here is the error:

 ----------- Payload: Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64) 11.0.61030.0 {3E272A93-C06B-4206-AD02-0EBE02535E20} -----------  ERROR: Third party payload installer vcredist_x64.exe failed with exit code: 2147942750  ERROR: Failed to repair Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64).

...Tried the repair...no go. Hopefully, installing Express 2013 for Desktop w/ update 3 fixes the problem... Am I on the right track?bhatnaga

Hi,

First uninstall the existing VC runtimes/redistributables from the system. Then, download the redistributable from the microsoft site, VC express is a different package. If the redistributable installation succeeds, Try installing our product again.

It is impossible to uninstall VC Redist 2008 even with REVO Uninstaller Pro. It still seeks for that msi file.

I use 80 GB SSD So it is quite normal to delete temp files. Additionally I find it really disturbing when someone installs something in the root directory in unfamiliar folder named <098a....> directory. Even if it is M$. Let us not mention the importance of a system files left like that without any indication to what they might belong.

I say it's Microsoft fault, however Adobe can probably fix that by finding a way around. Actually I have the redist files already installed. What is the nature of this new reinstallation/reconfiguration of Redist for the Adobe PS needs?

I'm having the same error. I found: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5555

But when I try to put VC_RED.MSI in the folder the installer is expecting. it isn't the correct version:-(

it wants 10.0.40219

There are a ton of vcredist_x86.exe on my computer. That is the name of the installer for the above. But I can't tell by looking at the files if they are the correct version?

I found one version in a directory   Adobe CS6\payloads\Microsoft VC 2010 Redist (x86)

But that did not fix the problem.
