It's above. The Visual C libraries were updated it seems. That's a Windows thing. Links are in a post far up.

Right. Don't remember from the top of my head how to fix that. Should be easy to Google though.

Download the full update from Microsoft. This is the direct link for the latest version [14.42.34433.0] which was released a few days ago.

This is the x64 version you need

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

This is the x86 version to update if you have that installed as well, I always install the x64 and x86.

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

And this is the direct link for the Microsoft site if you would sooner look for the links yourself

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022

Download it and try installing it, if it doesn't work straight away then right click on it and select [Run as administrator] and see if that installs it. If not go into your settings to the [Add/Remove Programs] and click on the latest versions of 2015-2022, select Modify and Repair then try again.

Yeah, that's because the original file is missing from the cache, so Windows cannot uninstall the older version before installing the newer one. It's a "common" Windows issue that can happen for various reasons. But promise you it's easy to solve, just don't remember. 

I made a search, and here is a link to a trouble shooter which should be able to force un-install the old one.

I normally resolve it by downloading and reinstalling the file in question, in this case version 14.32.31332

Yeah, but sometimes that doesn't work. There were numerous threads about it.

No problem, Microsoft like to make things difficult and don't keep older versions in easy to download places, probably in there My Visual Studio section you need to log into which is a pain.

I have found the file though, will link the page rather than just the file, I have downloaded it to check the version and it is the one you need, it's the second link marked [Version 14.32.31332 (x64)]

As MAXSenna said, it doesn't always work but worth a try.

Unable to download the Microsoft install/uninstall programme...windows appears to be blocking this!

Would a fresh intall from Steam help the matter you think?

How does Windows block it? Screenshot?
If your VCredists installs are corrupted, a re-installation of DCS won't ever fix that. If you ever need to get DCS back to vanilla, rename your DCS Saved Games folder, perform a repair on Standalone edition and "verify files" or something on Steam. BUT a repair/verify will not do anything else on your computer. Only DCS, mad not even Saved Games.
Your best option is to fix the VCredists installations it seems.

Have you tried already the vc_redist.x64 file that is on your computer in the DCS directory ..:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\distr.

After running the install let Windows check for an update.

It's the full install file, once installed it gives options for repair/uninstall. It's a genuine Microsoft file, I downloaded it and tested it like I do before I submit links for anything and it's from a Microsoft site so can pretty much rules those issues out.

Often when you are getting this issue with preventing the download it's due to permissions, I take it the system you are downloading on to that you are logged in as a default admin and not a user, quite often with users they are unable to download various files unless logged in as the administrator to prevent malicious actions. We used to lock people out at work, they would have full use of the computer but the minute you tried downloading or installing a driver or piece of system software, even an update it blocked it. If you aren't having issues with any other things though pretty much rules that out as well.

It could be corrupt system files, previous versions of the VC 2015-2022 have left users unable to install, uninstall or repair.

Try the follow:

Open a Command Prompt as Administrator and type the following commands. 

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Once that has finished type the next command: 

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

and once that has finished type: 

sfc /scannow

You might have to reboot the system after that command finishes, depends if it finds and repairs anything.

Don't know if you use anything like CCleaner but if not another possibility is redundant files in your temp directory, can clear that with the Command Prompt using: 

del /q /f /s %temp%\*

Starting yesterday, I have been unable to get into DCS, as this message as popped up. I've removed all mods. Tried to run a repair. Even uninstalled and reinstalled. All to no avail. Has anyone else had this problem?
