Missing Package

I am repeatedly getting an error message on an app startup . The message is asking for an alternative location for a Virtual C++ package location. I have tried searching but cannot locate where the original package should be. The identified location does not contain a .msi file. I have tried downloading installation packages but am not allowed to remove the original installation for a reinstall. The missing files does not appear to have an adverse effect on my PC, it's just a bit irritating. Anyone any suggestions, please?.

You might also consider doing routine disk and file system checks just in case there's a problem there - Crystal Diskinfo AND chkdsk c: /scan e.g. - both- they are utterly different.

Here's how to repair a VCC+ package:


Want to know where a particular package is.. and if it can be found on your PC? Try e.g.

After downloading the redistributable again, did you try VC_redist.x64.exe /repair?
