Game stuck on installation

[jelly_bean1996]

I JUST purchased the game. Been waiting for 2 hours for installation.. Steam finished downloading it, however, when I click to play the game, a window pops up trying to install Microsoft VC Redist package.. This has been stuck on 1/2 for the past hour. I need HELP! I really want to play this game.. It's been YEARS since I've played.

Nooo! Not yet. I've been trying to get somewhere with it, but I've had no such luck.. I've tried to unistall and reinstall all my vcredist packages, but it's not going anywhere.. I paid $30 for a game that I really want to play, but just can't.. :( As soon as I find a solution, I will let you know!

Have you tried deleting your installscript.vdf file in the _CommonRedist folder?

Yep. All it did was make it where the install didn't pop up anymore.. The launcher still wouldn't launch. I've unistalled and reinstalled the c++ 2015 program, however, the launcher still crashes. I can go in and manually launch the launcher through the local files, but I get a missing .dll error.. Which is annoying because its part of the C++ 2015 package according to the internet.. I'm lost as to what to do at this point. The file it says I'm missing is in my system 32 files..

I've done both :( Steam wouldn't give me a refund so I'm stuck with the game
