    Hey everyone,
    I made a transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10 recently and I'm having a compatibility issue with a program called Miku Miku Dance.

    Apparently this software requires the following to run, even with modern equivalents present in the system:

    ・Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)
    ・Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
    ・DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime

    I downloaded all of them and managed to at least install DirectX Runtime Components (directx_Jun2010_redist) to satisfy the DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime requirement. Unfortunately I'm running into issues installing the two older Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages.

    In the case of the 2008 Redist, I get an error "install.res.????.dll". When installing C++ 2010 Redist, the setup is blocked and the error tells me that:

    "A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine."

    On searching for the solution online, I found out that many web boards mention "msiexec" as the culprit behind this matter, so I went to Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) to temporarily close it but couldn't find it anywhere in either "performance" or "details" sections.

    Anyone here familiar with this type of problem?
