Hello

I was trying to install a software and its installer (an EXE file) contains Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable... when I was installing this software everything was fine... the installer was progressing fine and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable installed successfully... however... in the next step of the installation process, I suffered a temporary electricity cut due a thunderstorm. Of course, the computer turned off and the installation stopped.

Okay, when I started again my computer, Windows was running perfectly and everything was fine... then I tried to reinstall again the software.

Before reinstalling, I did a complete clean-up of this software.

Now... when I started to reinstall again the software... the installer tried to install the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable... and then it was completely impossible.

During the installation of the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable I got this screen...

Installing Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) 14.13.26020
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package
'vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi' in the box below

Use source:
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{BBF2AC74-720C-3CB3-8291-5E34039232FA}v14.0.24215\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_x86\

Seems to be it is asking right now for a file regarding the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) 14.13.26020... and the file is... vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi

I tried to find several files of this kind inside the folder... C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\ and anything worked... if I press okay, again, it is asking for this file.

Then we I close the installer, I get this error.

The file 'C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{BBF2AC74-720C-3CB3-8291-5E34039232FA}v14.0.24215\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_x86\vcRuntimeMinimum_x86.msi' is not a valid installation package for the product Microsoft Visual C++2015 x86 Minimum Runtime - 14.0.24215.
Try to find the installation package 'vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi' in a folder from which you can install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Minimum Runtime - 14.0.24215

Setup did not complete. The error is:
Package 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable' could not be installed.
Error number 1603

How may I solve this problem?

Cheers
