Greetings

Please try the following to see if it helps:

Uninstall Programs:

• Click on the Vista Start button and select Control Panel
  
• Click on Programs and Features
  
• Uninstall the following if found by right clicking each entry and selecting Remove (if available as an option, otherwise click Change) and follow the instructions to completely remove the software:
  
  
  
  
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Uninstall any entry with this name, there may be several, start with the ATL Update
    
    
    
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Uninstall any entry with this name
    

Once that's complete try installing the entries you uninstalled in the previous step. They can be downloaded from the following links:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) Note: You should use Windows Update to check for updates after installing this version so that it will install the latest security patches for it.
  
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) Note: If this version was not installed previously then there is no need to install it now. If it was, then install it and use Windows Update as indicated above to check for updates.
  

Please let me know how it goes.

Thanks

As per exile360 -

I also noted that you may need the x86 version and not the x64 version to fully patch the problem

Good Luck -

argahahagha I uninstalled 2008 c++ and there wasn't visual 2005 c++ I again got the same error when I tryed installing it and got another error when I tryed to install 2008 c++ package .

Both of them are x86

[exile360]

Is your OS 32 bit or 64 bit? If it's 64 then download and install the x64 (not the IA64) versions and attempt to install them instead.

[Bugerion]

My OS is 32 bit

Also a non related question is there a way to reinstall windows update cause nothing works to fix it?

[exile360]

Is there a specific error you get with Windows Update such as a particular error code or error message? I ask because I have several fixes for Windows Update, but each is specific depending on the type of error involved.

Also, is your OS Vista or 7?

[Bugerion]

You have already tryed everything about error code 80070002 and nothing worked maybe you dont remember but you did

and again everything gets back to that damm Windows update

VIsta I cant upgrade to WIN 7 because other error omg my comp is so ****ed up

[exile360]

Yes, I remember now . I don't think I posted this one though, in fact, I think MS added it quite recently:

Windows Update error 80070002

If you receive Windows Update error 80070002 while checking for updates, you need to remove the temporary update files that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove the temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service, and then try to check for Windows updates again.

I know we've tried much of what it suggests already, but you might want to give all those steps another go to see if there's any we missed and hopefully you'll finally get it resolved.

[Bugerion]

No that is old too well I can try all those steps again and report back

[exile360]

I assume you already ran the System Update Readiness Tool as well? If you used that page before then I'm sure you did. I'm at a loss on this one unfortunately. I looked back at your previous threads and we've thrown everything I can think of at this with no resolution .

Hopefully AdvancedSetup will have better luck with it in the HJT area (I just noticed your topic is still open there). He is a true master and I've no doubt he'll think of many things that I haven't.

[Bugerion]

Maybe he's thinking since he hasn't replyed yet

[exile360]

Yes, he's a pretty busy guy. He hardly ever sleeps and works all the time, something I'm sure many on this forum can relate to .

[Bugerion]

I just noticed something VC++ 2005 and VC++2005 sevice pack 1 for vista 32 bit are the same size!!!Why is that?

hmmmm but also version that you posted is 300 kb smaller than which I had my version installs also I managed installing service pack 1 but I still cant start those games that means my version is fake and your is real one

[AdvancedSetup]

Okay, I've replied to your post over in the HJT forum.

Please note your HJT post was closed due to signs of Piracy of the OS.
