C++ redistributable launch FAIL

[DanKicker]

Well well well,

This will be more like a tutorial for those with this "Microsoft visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Update 1 x64 (or x86)" that prevents you to launch the game, although you just downloaded the file and installed and reboot!

Well, I had the problem and while writing and willing to do a screenshot I went in "add and remove" and clicked "repair" on both 2012 C++ version (x64 and x86) and it fixed my problem. So I thought I'll post it if anyone had that issue.

I think you need both so it runs flawlessly, but that is just a guess. (x64 and x86)

Hopes this will help someone.

PS: The error message says you need update 1, but actually it will download update 3... That's okay!

Peace

Hi Dan,

I am currently having that issue on Win7, I have installed both the 64 and 86

I am now getting another error >>

I am just a bit confused where you went to "add and remove" I am presuming this is add and remove programs?? When I go in there it only gives me an option to uninstall I cant seem to find how to repair can you let me know please so I can give it a shot that would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Fritz

EDIT** After a bit of confusion I worked out what Dan meant and it has worked for me, but for some reason now I am back to having previous issues I had fixed like the need to delete profile and ctd/blue screen... :'(
