Titanfall 2 - VC++ Runtime Can't Install - Did the manual install too
So I try to install Titanfall 2, it seems to go okay, but then it gives the "Error: The VC__ runtime redistriubtable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (1638)" error.
I've gone to the Titanfall 2 directory and ran ran the vcredist_x64.exe in vc2010sp1 directory (there is no x32 version), which gives me a Repair did not succeed, because "another version of this product is already installed". The vc2012Update4 runs fine, restart the computer is fine, but the game still won't install and won't launch.
I've tried launching Origin as Admin, still no luck.
I've uninstalled the vc2010sp1 using the option to uninstall, then let Titanfall install, no luck. I uninstalled it using the uninstall option then manually installed it. No luck. Downloading from Microsoft directly gives me a newer version is already installed.
I'm off to try a clean boot... otherwise...
EDIT: Finishing install in clean boot allowed it get past whatever bug it had up it's sleeve. Then the play button was grayed out, but closing Origin and restarting it seemed to clean that up.
EDIT 2: Well... seems to be at the Playable 45 percent which lets you do the training wall, but can't do campaign or multiplayer and it isn't in the download que...
Right click the "Titanfall 2" picture in origin game library and click on "update game" about half way down, the rest of the game will down load than.
Hope that helps 🙂
