In my case I got an error message every time I tried to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. So I decided to tear the installer apart and manually copy the required dll files to C:\Windows\system32. I haven't seen any side effects so far, but you should write down which dll files you copy, so that you can undo it any time.

  1. Download and extract the Universal Extractor zip
  2. Run UniExtract.exe
  3. Select the installer (in my case vc_redist_x86)
  4. Click OK (it will create a Folder called vc_redist_x86)
  5. Open UniExtract.exe again
  6. This time select vc_redist_x86\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeMinimun_x86\.msi (For 64 bit Windows it will be a slightly different path)
  7. Click OK (It will create a filder called vcRuntimeMinimun_x86.
  8. Go to vc_runtimeMinimum_x86\vc_runtimeMinimum_x86\System (For 64 bit Windows the path will be slightly different) and you'll see all the DLLs including api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll.
  9. Copy all those DLLs to C:\Windows\system32 and skip for every DLL that already exists.
