    Hi Norman,

    Please download the following VC++ redist package.

    (If you already have the VC_redist.x64 setup file, delete the existing file and download the following version.)

    VC_redist.x64.exe

    Double-click the file to run it.

    Click the Repair option.

    Let me know if that helps.

    The {[GUID]}v14.44.35211\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\ failure should be fixed by removing the affected Visual C++ 14.44.35211 installer entry with Microsoft’s troubleshooter, restarting Windows, and installing the latest supported x64 and x86 redistributables.

    Remove the affected installer entry

    This package path typically appears when Windows Installer needs the old vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi but cannot access it. Microsoft’s VC++ guidance classifies that situation as an older-version removal failure caused by a damaged installer cache.^1^

    1. Download Microsoft’s Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter: https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/E/9/7E9188C0-2511-4B01-8B4E-0A641EC2F600/MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab
    2. Open the downloaded file and select Uninstalling.
    3. Remove each affected 14.44.35211 entry shown by the tool, particularly:
      • Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X64 Minimum Runtime – 14.44.35211
      • Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X64 Additional Runtime – 14.44.35211
      If the same failure affects x86, also remove the corresponding X86 Minimum Runtime and X86 Additional Runtime entries. This is the accepted remediation for this exact VC++ version and missing-package-cache symptom.^2^
    4. Restart Windows using Start → Power → Restart.

    Install clean Microsoft packages

    Download both packages directly from Microsoft:

    Right-click each downloaded file, select Run as administrator, and complete installation. Installing both is appropriate because 64-bit Windows can run applications built for either architecture; the redistributable architecture must match the application.^3^

    Then open Settings → Apps → Installed apps and confirm that the Microsoft Visual C++ x64 and x86 packages are listed. Retry the program or update that originally failed.

    Do not download an “all-in-one” runtime bundle or manually delete Windows Installer registry entries. Microsoft advises using only Microsoft-hosted, Microsoft-signed redistributable installers.^1^

    If removal or reinstallation still fails

    Collect the installer logs so the actual Windows Installer error can be identified:

    1. Download Microsoft’s Visual Studio and .NET Log Collection Tool from https://aka.ms/vscollect.
    2. Run Collect.exe.
    3. Open %TEMP%\vscollect.zip.
    4. Inside its Temp folder, locate files beginning with:
      • dd_vcredist_x64_
      • dd_vcredist_x86_
    5. Search those logs for Error, Failed, 1714, 1612, or 1620.

    Error 1714/1612 supports the missing-old-package diagnosis; 1620 indicates an invalid or corrupted installer package. If the prescribed removal does not work, include the relevant log and the exact error code in a follow-up or Microsoft Developer Community report.^1^
