Microsoft VC Redist Package (Step 1 of 1)

So based on past posts that i've seen, I can tell this has been a problem to other games before. But right now in my case, this window keeps popping up before I try to play this game, and it won't install. It says it's installing, but as far as I can tell, it isn't. I've given it 15 minutes max so far to install and then I cancel. I just don't feel like it's doing anything. It can't take more than 15 minutes to install something after it took an even shorter amount of time to download it first right? so I don't know what to do. the game won't even launch for me, so I have yet to play it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Right click on the game in your library, select properties, in the Local Files tab, select 'verify integrity of game cache'

Same here, And seen this problem as far back as November 2012.. It's hard to believe no one's managed to fix or patch this yet. :P

It has already been 2014 and there still seem to be no solution found for the problem. Now it happened on me, as I just bought the game, Risk of Rain, having the same problem while installing. I guess my money flew.

FOUND A FIX!
I ran into this same problem, but then someone suggested Nøstalgia's Guide to stopping first-time setup (you can find it in they Guides section). Long story short, follow the guide, and then follow the steps again, but this time name the new value "VCRedist" (without the quotes) and set its data to 1 as well. I've launched and am running the game just fine.
