Missing vc_runtimeminimum_x86.msi and installation won't work

I am currently going through the installation process of Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition for use with C ++. In the middle of the installation, I get the error

"The function you are trying to use is on a network share that is not available. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to the folder containing the installation package" "in the field below." vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi

If I click Cancel, the procedure continues and at the end it says that the installation failed. This gives me the error logs attached at the bottom of this post.

Also, I have uploaded the complete logs to the Microsoft Visual Studio Developer Help Forum here .

I would like to be able to fix this problem without having to reinstall the OS. So far I have tried /sfc scannow

, repairing via the Visual Studio installer, and reinstalling the C ++ redistributables, all to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank.

Go to Control Panel - Programs and Features, remove Visual C ++ 2015 Redistribute items.



Then run the tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed . Restart the VS 2017 installer as an administrator, then click an icon other than Run and select Repair to repair VS 2017.

I ran into this issue on a recent Win 10+ build as well while trying to install the latest VS Community. When I entered this state, everything was super broken. Here is the sequence of events I accepted that finally worked:

  1. Once installed, select "download all packages and then install"
  2. Attempt to install
  3. View Popup
  4. When the popup is still working, go to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed and download tool
  5. Open the tool and then select "Uninstall" on the page that says "You need help installing or uninstalling"
  6. On the next page with the list, select Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 (whatever) and click next to "Try to uninstall"
  7. Repeat steps 5-6 until "Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015" is listed. Please note that the popup is still displayed.
  8. Close the popup
  9. Pause the installation and resume.
  10. I haven't seen the popup again and it seems to be installed correctly.

If you came here a year after the solution was flagged without any solution, try this and see if it works for you.



Here's something else I tried, but it didn't work. If the above didn't work for you, maybe try some of the following I've gathered through some searches:

Try to install everything from here: https://support.microsoft.com/ms-my/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Not sure if you just need to install the x86 version or all of them. We recommend installing all of them, but don't forget to remove the ones you already have.

it was easy for me to solve this problem.

  1. Remove all visual c ++ with Revo Uninstaller Pro
  2. Use the MPVCI tool. link ( https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/multipack_visual_c_installer.html )
  3. enjoy it. it works for me.
