You could contact the software company that makes windvd 8 and ask them why
their software is failing to properly install.

As far as the visual C++ not installing properly, perhaps you can try
installing the redistributable package seperately before installing windvd
and see if that works.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)

or, the newer version of the file although the older version may work fine:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

HTH,
