Problem with Visual C++ 2015

[Henry-100]

Recently whenever I try to play a game on steam it says that I do not have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015. This only started to happen within the last week or so.

I Tried to reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 from their website but whenever I run either the x86 or x64 the setup fails.

Here is the log file.

you were using an older version of the redistributable thats why your install attempt failed.

you can try going to your Programs and uninstall all of the 2015 C++ redistributable. restart
you can let the game install the redistributable for you again or you can go to this site below and intall the appropriate versions manually. restart.

try running the steam game again.

if it still refused to install. you will need to run the following below. your windows files may be corrupted. and try again above after its done.
