TheEtanMan Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I cannot install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistribution because I already have a newer version and this the MCM is not working at all. Which in turn somehow makes Project Nevada to not work. I got a new computer and stuff, it all worked on my laptop so I am very annoyed at this.

dubiousintent Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Yes you can install the 2010 Redistributable even though you have a newer version. You just have to manually download it. A simple Google search on "ms visual c++ 2010 redistributable" will produce a number of MS sites. Be sure you get the correct version for your OS (32-bit [x86] or 64-bit [x64]). If you have a 64-bit OS, get and install both versions. Edit: Now I notice in another post you say the installer complains of the newer version and won't install. In that case, uninstall the new version, install the 2010 version(s), and then reinstall the current version. (Sometimes MS left and right hands stop sharing a brain.) Then I suggest you read the wiki article "HUD-UI-Menu issues" before you go any further. -Dubious- Edited October 1, 2016 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatterian Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 You don't, they can exist side by side. There are many many versions of the libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 ...How do I uninstall the newer version of Visual?Through the "Windows Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a Program" tool. But really, you shouldn't need to uninstall. You don't mention which version of Windows you are using, but I'm guessing Win10. Installing older VSC redistributables has often been a problem with Win10. Be sure you run "setup.exe" as an "Administrator" account. If it fails again, there should be an error log. (If nothing else, check the "EventLog" for "system" or "application" errors.) Check the error message and look it up on the web. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
