Visual C++Runtime error since last update
Since the last update I get the following message when starting the game: "The following component(s) are required to run this program. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime." It asks if I want to install them (which I did) but it still displays the same message when trying to run it again. If I choose YES to install it again, it then recognizes that it is installed and my only options are to uninstall or quit. Neither option gets the game to run.

That is an administrative permission problem.

same problem here!

Same. Strange the dev didn't catch that. Hopefully they remove the need for Microsoft C++ soon, was really hoping to play.

uninstall, then delete any remaining files and folders for the game. clean your windows registry, reboot your pc, then start steam and re-install the game fresh.

Be sure to have admin access on for steam before installing the game.

When I press the uninstall button the game runs?.. normally you press the game.exe and "the game runs" ?!?.. fml .. generally pressing anything that says "uninstall" will UNINSTALL that software so yess yess my freind you have to "restart" thEn "instahull" it again to pay tha geam agin ok mah dude

Yeah. i just got the game, ran it, install the runtime thing, worked fine. Next time i start it it tell me to uninstall it again. sees that it is there. and tells me to uninstall. i said no and the game closes completly. I came here and see it runs if you just go ahead and agree to "uninstall the runtime thing " so i do this and Yeah. it starts up..

Fix for Game Launch Issues

I don't own the game, but my friend asked me to help fix this issue. Here's an easy solution that worked for them:

Open Steam Library

Right-click on the game and select Properties.
Locate Game Files

Go to the Installed Files tab and click Browse.
This will open the game's folder (e.g., the Manor Lords folder).
Adjust Compatibility Settings

Right-click on the game's .exe file and select Properties.
Go to the Compatibility tab, enable Run this program as an administrator, and click Apply and OK.
Launch the Game

Start the game from Steam. This should resolve the issue for most people.
If the problem persists, search for AIO Redist on Google, download, and install it. However, this fix typically works for the majority of users.

Greetings,

As stated by others.

The C++, .Net, and DirectX programs and files are all installed into your System locations.
(this is a access restricted and often hidden location)

- This requires Admin permission to place, change or remove anything into those locations.

- Normally Pc and Laptop users are not logged in as an Admin, but a user, as it's somewhat safer so you don't accidently "break" your system by doing "something your not sure of".
- Setting or raising the Compatibility/Security for programs to Admin level will allow then to install needed software into the system locations.

A note here on C++
The New Game Engine, Unreal Engine 5.4 and 5.5 use C++ as some of the coding language.
- So for your system and the game to work you need the C++ run times and files installed.

I had this same issue and nothing fixed it until I installed both the recent 86x and 64x Microsoft Visual C++ which can be found on this website.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Once downloaded make sure you install both of these using "run with administrator" or it will not work otherwise, once downloaded you will need to restart your computer.

Once completed the game should run so long as you also run the game using "run as administrator".
Ive tried everything in this and I still cant play the game :steamthumbsdown:
idk what going on, im running admin, installed every C++ runtime i could including the newsest one and uninstall/reinstall + restarting the comp.... nothing. this sucks

Are you running a Windows system?
Are you still getting a C++ error? It should indicate which version you need for your install.
- These installs need to be installed as an Admin (or given Admin install rights) as they go to protected system locations
