    Hi,

    Thank you for posting MSDN forum.

    According to the description, the issue is related to visual studio installation issue.  According to my search, the extended support end date of 2005 VC++ is 4/12/2016 .

    For more information, please refer to this document.

    I suggest that you can upgrade to the latest Visual Studio.

    Best Regards,

    Hart

    There is a difference between install of the VC2005 Redistributable and VC2005. The redist is free available, VC2005 should not be available for download.

    @Jammerjonn

    In general VC2005 is really old, and I would not expect a successful setup on Windows 10. If you have a MSDN subscription you can get VS2010. Most projects made with VC2005 should compile with VS2010. And also VS2010 may be tricky to install on Win10

    Thanks for your help. I had it in my win 10 Pro system and I got an error message saying it was corrupted. I uninstalled it and now I can't reinstall it. I get an error message saying it needs to be elevation. I need this to run on 6 different software programs. Thanks why I was trying to reinstall it.
