In page I scrolled down to the clickable buttons to download vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe Under an x86 installation of Windows XP Home SP3, double-clicking vcredist_x86.exe first displays a licence in Japanese, confirming that the correct file was double-clicked. Next it displays an error message in English: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable --------------------------- Command line option syntax error.

Type Command /? --------------------------- OK --------------------------- For 14 years Microsoft has been telling me that I misspelled double-clicks and I should check the spelling of the double-clicks that I inputted. For maybe a year I was just confused, but gradually I figured out that Microsoft usually blames customers, and Microsoft sometimes blames computer makers (OEMs). Now I get confused less often, but what about my customers? When I make a Visual Studio setup project, and customers try to install my package, vcredist_x86.exe will tell my customers that they misspelled their double-clicks, and my customers will blame me.

This time I have figured out part of the problem. Folders like 'My Documents' and 'Temp' are subfolders of a folder named for the user's account on their Windows system. Microsoft forgot that Japanese users have Japanese names. The Japanese version of this installer can't handle Japanese pathnames. On Windows XP Pro we can tell a customer to log into their Administrator account in order to install our product, because 'Administrator' is spelled using all foreign characters. But on Windows XP Home we can't do that.

Vcredist_x86.exe - original dll file, download here. One click to download this file. Repair your system. I am trying to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runtime but When I try to, this happens. I have no clue how to approach it, here are the log files: [196C:2140][2016.

Does anyone know a reliable way to get these libraries installed on customers' machines where we have no control over the machines? Diamond, I've test the path like '%WINDIR% foldername', it worked on my side. >Express Scribe 5.63 Keygen. Don't you think it would be better if the vcredist_____.exe programs would be made compatible with their own language versions of Windows?
