Each msi is the same thing. Deleting all restore points and turning off System Restore fixed the problem. Now all installers work. Thanks for your help. Just one question, If I delete all previous C++ installments does your VisualCppRedist AIO contain all necessary versions? Or I need older ones too that may be needed?
The AIO does not need old runtimes to work, and it will automatically remove older runtime versions it installs new versions of.
Except the cached installers in "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache", .NET installers does not contain bloat payload and most .NET (Core) programs will bundle required files along anyway
Just remember to have the Opt-out variable always set in the system, then you can use the official installers fine. Code: DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1 Offtopic: There's one for Powershell, too. Code: POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1 /Offtopic
Time for my monthly stupid question....is there a VisC++redist AIO update for Windows 7 Pro (x64)? I've been reading the threads and posts here until my eyes bleed, but can't find an answer.
Many thanks abbodi1406. I appreciate very much your work....and your patience with those of us who lack ability and understanding of the finer points of computer tech.
