Visual C++ 2015/17/19 x64 (not ARM64) will not install

Figured this out! Here's the workaround:

1. Download and install x64 Visual C++ redist to a x64/x86 PC
2. Find the package cache, should be the most recently modified folder in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\. For example, it may be C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{3407B900-37F5-4CC2-B612-5CD5D580A163}v14.32.31332\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64
3. Open the command prompt in that location
4. Run msiexec /i vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi ADDEPLOY=1

That's it, should be good to go from there.

 

(forgot to add, you'll want to copy the contents of that folder to the same spot on your ARM64 machine)

 

Hey, did this work for anyone, I have attempted it and till the program is looking for the X64 version.

 

Same thing happened when I was testing a game in Win10 ARM. Every time I loaded the game, it wanted to install the x64 software (related to thread). It thought it did, but the game would never load as it would sit in a loop basically. I even Manually installed the software and the game still didn't see it. I obviously gave up on it after fighting for quite a while.

 

Same here - I haven't found a solution yet either and now I carry a second windwos laptop in the field, because i can't do my daily work without the application.
Exactly this circumstance keeps me from a Parallels subscription, although Win11 on the Mac would simplify a lot for me. Too bad

 

I also have the same issue. This is the reason I will not be continuing my subscription of parallels.
