Error 1935 installing Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64)

Question

_{Monday, September 7, 2015 7:31 PM}

So I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday. Did an upgrade and then a reset so I had a clean system. Everything's been pretty smooth except this.

Trying to install Autodesk Maya 2014 and 2016 but both fail due to another piece of software failing to install. The software in question is this: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update

So I tried to install it manually from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=14431

But of course it fails. The error I get reads:

Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32".version="8.0.50727.4053".publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="amd64".

Please note my system is a 64 bit Intel machine (Core i7 2700k), so Im not sure why its saying the processor architecture is amd64.

Hi,

“The 64 bit extensions to the x86 architecture were invented and first implemented by AMD. Intel were laggards to the 64 bit party because they were hoping to transition away from x86 architecture and move us towards IA64. IA64 already existed in the form of the Itanium and Intel was hoping to transition towards that. Despite being a far better and more efficient architecture, lacking the inherent design flaws of x86, it suffered through lack of compatibility and it never took off except in the commercial space. AMD effectively forced Intel's hand by introducing the Sledgehammer, which was effectively a 64bit chip based on the x86 architecture. Hence the name AMD64.”

Here is a similar symptom, please try the solution as mentioned to have a check:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable error 1935

You may receive an "Error 1935" error message when you try to install Visual Studio .NET or Visual Studio 2005
