help with runtimes

[thrustvector]

C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{50A2BC33-C9CD-3BF1-A8FF-53C10A0B183C}v14.0.24215\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\

 

I get this or ones very similar nearly all the time, tried for ages to remedy, all runtimes are already installed, but they are never found.

I always just cancel and all still runs fine, but its a pain really, thinking I need to delete a registry key somewhere?

this was all fine till I tried the creators update a while ago, didn't like it so whent back, THEN beloved Microsoft insisted I had to the creators update, as win 10 versions were not going to be supported.

any ideas to correct this? oh I haven't an AMD processor?

amd64 is the architecture of your OS

you could try un-installing the runtimes and then reboot and run the installer as admin ?

ya tried that, for example its even on repair dcs it tries to install runtimes at the end which I have to cancel, as even directing to a file does not work, its as if the update to creators has corrupted something.

to be fair everything/game /program works as it should, so its like a bug of sorts, just dam annoying

Trash your win10 and redo it, you will be quicker in doing it that way than trying to find that problem.

 

Backup your files, prepare a USB stick with the newest 10 directly from MS and start over.

 

Install your drivers, patch the OS, install or copy/paste DCS folder, run a clean + repair and try again.

 

I had such an error years back, I think 2013, with 1 of my laptops and DCS. Tried it all, in the end nothing helped but a fresh win7 back then.

 

Shit happens

 

edit: you could try a new user account ( admin privileges ) and see if that helps, if not, see above

hmm was thinking of doing that, its not as I said nothing works is just a pain with the dam popups,

ill try an admin, haven't tried that yet.....fingers crossed
