Question

Error message when downloading Visual C++

Forum|Forum|1 year ago

I clicked on downloaded .exe file. It started but stopped saying I needed Microsoft Visual C++ with an install button. I clicked on it but it said the install of MS Visual C ++ failed. Got the following message.

"The files for installation requirement Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable Package could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed or canceled download"

Anyone can provide guidance here?

Same issue, can't install Turbo Tax 2024 on a Windows 11 laptop due to this error. Not sure why products are still requiring C++ installers. Will cancel my subscription and get my money back.

The company didn't help at all, but I was able to figure it out.

I just downloaded this file https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Then turbotax was able to download.

I downloaded that as well but will not install. Tried multiple machines but nothing seems to work.
