How to remove and reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libraries in order to correct a problem with Autodesk software, such as a 'general failure' during installation (due to a conflict with installer prerequisites) or any type of misbehavior or crash during normal operation.
Solution:
Uninstalling Visual C++ is done the same as other programs. The different versions and components will be listed in Programs and Features (or Add or Remove Programs for Windows XP). To uninstall Microsoft Visual C++: - Open Programs and Features from the Windows Control Panel (or Add or Remove Programs for Windows XP). A simple way to bring this up on non-Windows XP systems is to type 'programs and features' in the search field at the bottom of the Start menu.
- In the search field at the top right, type in 'c++ redist' (without quotations).
- Uninstall everything that shows 'Microsoft Visual C++' and 'Redistributable' (which should be the entire search results list).
