Question
Tuesday, September 8, 2015 2:36 AM
I have a new windows 10 that had the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86/64) 11.0.50727 preinstalled. I'm trying to install software that utilizes the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 service pack. I've read that you can't run them concurrently (or you can't install 2010 if you have newer versions installed). Is this true? I'm afraid that uninstalling the newer version in order to install the older version will damage the preloaded software. So how can I run the software that needs the older C++? Thanks!

I figured it out. For some reason msiexec was running in the background. Once I manually stopped it, I was able to complete the C++ 2010 install. Thank you guys for the assist!!

No, there is no conflict between the runtimes of Visual C++ 2012, 2010, 2015, or 2008, etc. Indeed often all redistributables end up being installed on the same computer if enough third party applications are installed. And the order of the installations is not relevant.

thanks for the quick reply. Something else must be blocking the C++ 2010 install then. Initially it says that it's "waiting for another install to complete" and then I get a runtime error also saying another installation process is running (but nothing is). If the C++ 2010 recognizes a newer version of C++ is it normal for it to abort the older install?

Hi RJJenkins,
Please check the following to see whether it helps:
(1) Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software
(2) Go to Windows Update to check whether there is the update needed to be installed, because installing visual studio requires your windows update to the latest.
If there is the update, please install it first.
(3) Clear your %temp% folder, it is the folder to store files
If none of the above helps, please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to https://skydrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
