it initially starts installing, but when it gets to the part that it install Microsoft visual c++2017, is says ERROR and it stops installing, tried downloading latest version from MAGIX site, but problem still there, I checked my hard drive and Microsoft visual c++2017 is already installed from Microsoft updates, don't want to uninstall the Microsoft visual c++2017 in my hard drive in case it causes other problems, any help, thanks.

if you can not install Music Studio 11 and you get an ERROR message, you may have to uninstall Microsoft visual c++2017, but make sure you download a copy from Microsoft first as a backup to reinstall if necessary if you continue having problems, it should install no problem after and it will reinstall Microsoft visual c++2017.

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.
