Hi gnartheratking,

Welcome to MSDN forum.

Have you tried repairing your System files? You can run the SFC.exe to repair missing or corrupted files and download the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from here.

If it persists, please tell me if you have the older version of Visual C++ installed on your computer, if so, please go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > uninstall all the Visual C++ Redistributable items. Then, use the troubleshooter to install the latest version of Visual C++ Redistributable. Before installation, please check for update and ensure that your Windows Update is up-to-date.

If it doesn’t work, please help us collect more installation logs. You can download and run this collect.exe tool, go to %temp% folder and find the vslogs.zip file, upload it to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link in here. Thanks for your understanding.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
