Hi, I'm facing an issue installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64). The installer keeps showing the same error every time I try. I’ve already uninstalled previous versions, cleaned the system, and tried running in Safe Mode, but the problem persists. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't install Tableau because of that issue! The error msg is attached. I tried everything and nothing worked with me!
What installer are you running and where did you acquire it?

Hi @Deena Gamal Gaber ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Please re-download the latest supported Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64 version from the page. (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe)
Then, retry the installation.
If it doesn’t work, you can use the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter tool to uninstall all the Visual C++ Redistributable items and install it again.
Besides, please ensure that you have administrative privileges to install it. If you have any anti-virus software or security management software, please temporarily disable it.
Sincerely,
Anna
