Apex Legends VC++ Error
Whenever I try to download Apex Legends I get an error message that reads "Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (2147942750)...
Thanks for the info. I did what you said in the VC folder and repaired the 2010sp1 and 2012Update4, but when I try to run the vc2015\redist\vc_redist.x64 or .x86 they ask if I want to install, and when I click it, I get "Setup Failed - 0x80070666 - Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."
I followed your instructions because I got the VCC error when I try to install the game (the game IS installed and playable), but I also have an issue with the game suddenly freezing during play and locking up - having to be hard shut down to through task manager to close it out. Not sure if the two issues are related, and I don't want to mess with the VC if one is not causing the other (especially since I can play most of the time. Freezing happens ever 5-10 games).
Any thoughts?
