first thing you're going to want to do is uninstall visual c++ 2015 completely restart your computer. I think it has to do with some windows updates that require Internet explorer.įinally figured out how to get this to work on win 8.1 so frustrating. Since I already had both the x86 and 圆4 versions of the Redist installed, I went to the control panel, and repaired both of the redistributables by double clicking them.Īfter this I was able to run my game. Installing Windows6.1-KB3020369 and then Windows6.1-KB3172605 then rebooting. Installing the latest version of Internet Explorer (currently 11) and rebooting. I know this thread is a bit old but I just had this exact issue and managed to fix it by doing this: And most new games in 2016 will require these updates also, so get it done now. It's a bit of a PITA but you'll have a better secured PC out of it in the end. Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 圆4 and x86 from here:

Your PC has not run Windows Update in a long time, so long in fact that you do not have the Windows security updates required to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. Error: The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime
