How can I fix this pop-up error that says “the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.” and “Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package ‘vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi”?

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Based on the information you provided, this may be caused by the corrupted installation file. I suggest you first try to download the Program Installation and Uninstallation Troubleshooter and then run it to find the software you want to repair and see if it can solve the problem.

    If the problem still cannot be solved, there is a thread similar to yours here. It is recommended that you try the methods in it.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best regards
