visual C++ 2005 redistributable.

[Tim]

I bought vista ultimate 32 for my new build and I have had nothing but
problems. When trying to install 3 different games, i get an error when it is
"configuring visual c++ 2005 redistributable. this is the error i get:

PLEASE HELP. i am very angry that microsofts own plugins dont work with
their own operating system and I must pay $60 to have them fix it. I am not
going to pay them to fix their own problem. I have spent $180 on 3 games and
NONE of them work...

Microsoft teams certainly tested installing VS C++ 2005 SP1's REDIST on
Windows Vista, but you are clearly hitting some kind of error specific to
your system or the files you downloaded. The error is a bit vague, so you
should look at the system and application event logs to see if there's
anything more specific to indicate the cause of the problem.

From a quick search of the internet on 'error 1935', it seems like people
who have run into problems like this had some kind of trial version of
Visual Studio installed. I'm assuming this was a FRESH install and not an
UPGRADE install?

Sorry for ranting on microsoft, I'm just upset. The computer was a fresh
build and I installed a new copy of OEM vista ultimate. Can anyone help me? I
am new to vista.

Have you tried running the stand-alone VC redistributable package?
