I have download vc_redist.x86, and when I try to install it this happens:

When I hit cancel this is the error message I get:

Error 1714. The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Minimum Runtime - 14.0.24123 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.

  • Have you uninstalled all previous versions? Choco repository in question is clearly out of date

  • Your errors are confusing, it’s attempting to reconfigure VC++ 2015, but your attempting to install VS2017 build tools

  • All Microsoft Visual C++ previous versions? If so, no I haven't. Should I?

  • Since you can reinstall them, if you actually need them, uninstalling the versions you don’t need is a simple solution

Use the troubleshooter given in the Microsoft website: Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed

Uninstall the problematic packages using this tool and then reinstall them using the installer downloadable from the Microsoft website.
