    Didn't work.  I spent way too much time on this trying multiple things from experience and searching forums and the web with potential solutions and did not find a way past it.  One forum post indicated differences in Steam installed and EA installed versions and succes in one and not the other.  I ended up getting a refund and getting it on Steam for the same price and it worked without incident 1st time.  EA need to make their installation script/app from the EA App a bit more intelligent to recognize if you have a more recent Redistributable that supercedes the one that was originally issued with the game.  That version listed above won't even install on my machine and there are updates after it.

Hey Kazern​  See if you have any pending Windows Updates and then try repairing the vcredist_x86 application in this location: C:\Program Files\EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 25\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist. Restart your PC and try the installation process again.
