Acid Music Studio 11 Error -2147163967

Once I open the program a popup window says there's a major update. I download the update and hit the 'update immediately' button. The program restarts and opens up saying there's a older version of Acid 11 installed and do I want to update. I click yes and it says the update needed is "microsoft visual c++ 2013 redistributable package (x64)". I click to install and I'm hit with an error -2147163967. Has anyone else had this problem? I've went and downloaded the package from Microsoft's site. Not sure why I'm getting this error

@tone1316 It usually helps if you uninstall C++ 2013 redistributable which is likely already installed on your computer. The installer will then reinstall it.

After EXHAUSTING hours and hours...I can say I have the EXACT SOLUTION to everyone's Visual c++ 2013 refusal to install and preventing Acid to setup.

You MUST only have MS Visual C++ 2013 x64 AND x86 versions 12.0.30501 installed in your Windows. ANY other versions have to go for 2013 c++'s(uninstall them all if different)...if you need to download versions 12.0.30501...here is a link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

install both x86 and x64 for 30501. Like I said-for 2013, there should be NO OTHER versions.

I guarantee you this works. It WILL install if you do this!!!! I am pleased to aid all who have banged their heads against the walls....Believe me, I've been there.

@raan-summers Usually it should work fine if you have no version installed instead of one specific. The installer will reinstall it.

Dopo ore e ore ESAURENTI... posso dire de avere la SOLUZIONE ESATTA al rifiuto de installare Visual c++ 2013 da parte di tutti e al'impossibilità di configurare Acid.

DEVI vede solo MS Visual C++ 2013 x64 E x86 versione 12.0.30501 installata in Windows. QUALSIASI questa versione deve essere compatibile con C++ dal 2013 (disinstallarla completamente)... è necessario scaricare la versione 12.0.30501... ecco un collegamento:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/

installa sia x86 che x64 per 30501. Come here, per il 2013 non dovrebbero esserci ALTRE versioni.

Garantisco che funziona. Se lo installerai lo farai!!!! Sono felice di vedere tutti i colori che se ne sono andati la testa contro i mori... credetemi, ci sono passato.

niente da fare. grazie comunque per il consiglio... questa cosa è frustrante
