I am trying to run an installer that requires the existence of Microsoft update kb-2999226.

Using Windows update, all I get is that I got my system up to date.

Searching online, I have found that I can download the update manually, but there is no version for Windows 10 (only for Windows 7/8 which installation did not pass because of incompatible os version).

Any idea of how I can force my Windows 10 to install that update? Or make the installer 'believe' it is installed?

Thank you!

    This update allows Windows desktop applications that depend on the Windows 10 Universal CRT release to run on earlier Windows operating systems. & The Universal CRT is a Windows operating system component. It is a part of Windows 10. For Windows versions prior to Windows 10, the Universal CRT is distributed via Windows Update. Sep 7, 2016 at 6:41
  • As I mentioned, I'm trying to install a software that specifically mentions this update as not existing. I need a way to make it appear explicitly and not just a part of the operating system... Is there a way to do that? Sep 7, 2016 at 10:51

    Your installer is broken. Please raise the issue with the provider of the installer.

  • I know it already. As I'm not expecting the provider to do anything about it especially for me in a timely manner, I'd really like to get an answer for what I'm after. Sep 7, 2016 at 11:44
