Title: Problem installing CAM
Post by: pietro_asp on October 03, 2018, 03:37:25 AM
Hello!
So I was searching for same problems - no luck so far. When I try to install CAM I instantly get this:

Any idea how to fix it? I am using windows 10x64, if that's any help.

Usually a C++ runtime error is caused when either:

Tried reinstalling C++ already and compatibility mode was literally my first I've done :(
Guess RIP me

Which versions of Visual C++ do you have installed? 

Having just moved to a Windows 10 computer and reinstalling many programs and mods, I ran across one instance where I needed to install an earlier version of Visual C++ runtime (2005).  I don't remember if it was CAM or something else.  The problem is compounded because the 2005 runtime won't install if a specific later version is installed.  One must uninstall the stated later version before installing the earlier version, and then reinstalling the later version.

If you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed, you might give it a try to see if it resolves your problem.  The process I went through was:  try and install 2005, read the error message telling you which later version is in conflict, uninstall the later versions (I want to say 2015 (x86)), install 2005, reinstall that later version.

Indeed I didn't say re-install C++ or even install it, but specifically install the correct one the application needs. To give you an idea of the complexity of that, here's a list of the variants of the C++ runtime I have installed on my machine:

The only person who'd know which one the installer needs, is the person who made the installer. So, it's going to take some sleuthing to get to the bottom of.

Yeah think I will just pass on this. I have:

So trying to find "correct one" would take lifetime, assuming that would even solve problem.
