windows – Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime Error (Redlist14, specifically vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi) During Installation


I’m encountering a persistent error while trying to install Microsoft Visual Studio. The installation fails with the following message:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime – 14.36.32532 missing

specifically referring to redlist14.

System Info:

  • Windows 11, 64-bit
  • Visual Studio Version: Community 2022

First, I’d get the error that it can’t find the specific file in the filepath for the cache, and then I tried to solve it by reinstalling/restarting my pc.
I removed all redistributables and when trying to install the latest redistributable version I got the same exact error.
My friend tried sending me the file from his cache and it still didn’t work, with the error

[file path] is not a valid installation package for the product Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime – 14.36.32532. Try to find the installation package ‘vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi’ in a folder from which you can install Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X86 Minimum Runtime – 14.36.32532
