UE4 Prerequisites (x64) Setup Failed

[Kruger]

whe trying to install UE4 Prerequisites (C++ 2015) i get the error message:
Error 0x80070666 another version of this product is alread installed. Instalation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this prtoduct, use Add/Remove Programs in the control panel.

So I unistalled C++ 2015 from the control panel, reloaded the Solus launcher and now I get this error:
0x80070017 Data error (cyclic redundancy check)

Im running Windows 7 without Sp1 installed and cannot install the KB2999226 fix mentioned on this forum

Is installing SP1 a possibility? You could manually install KB29999226 but I'm not sure what that would do without SP1 and I usually don't recommend forcing patches. Windows 7 without SP1 is quickly becoming an outdated OS I'm afraid.

I had the same problem if you do the following this will work:

Step 1 go to: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5842

If you have a 64 Bit O/S download and install: Windows6.1-KB976932-x64
If you have a 32 Bit O/S download and install: Windows6.1-KB976932-x86

Step 2 go to: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49984

If you have a 64 Bit O/S download and install: VC_redist.x64.exe
If you have a 32 Bit O/S download and install: VC_redist.x86.exe

Step 3 when installing the “VC_redist.x64.exe” if prompted with either repair of modify click: Repair

Now the game will run!

Kruger have you fixed this issue yet ?

[JolanXBL]

Gonna resurrect an old post, with a good reason.
I'm hitting this exact same issue with 2 other games. I can't install the KB2999226 without SP1.
KB2999226 is a patch that should enable software made with Windows 10 to run on Windows 7, so I think SP1 is unavoidable.
I'm installing it now.

Have you got a solution for that on windows 8.1?

[wrenchse]

On windows 8.1 it should just work. Have you made sure that all windows updates have been applied?

[JolanXBL]

Fixed it by installing SP1 and applying the fix.
