No Visual studio software on computer (screenshot)

[jonnyhillow]

There seems to be a few programs i cannot run since i don't have Visual studio on my computer as you can see in my screenshot .

Do i need all the visual studio's because when i attempted to install VS 2010 i got a message saying your computer does not support it .

I am running Win 7 64 bit SP 1

Thank you

You should get most of these if not all using Windows 7 Updates.

VS 2010 has been running on my Win 7 x64 SP 1 system for years with no issues. There is no compatibility problem with VS 2010 and Win 7. In fact, VS 2010 was made for Win 7.

Where did you buy this copy of VS 2010? You might want to think about getting your money back if you can. It sounds like there might be something wrong with the disk or the installer.

Thanks gentleman , windows updates does not seem to pull them up for some reason .

I only tried a link on Microsoft's site to download VS 2010 and it didn't work .

You don't need VS 2010 for the redistributable files that you need. You need the Visual C++ redistributable packs instead. There is quite a difference.

Try these packages instead:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

I checked and they should all install with Win 7.

Note that the programs that you are trying to use should have installed the redistributable packages when you installed them if they were needed. I find it very unusual that you have none installed at all, but weirder things have happened. Try installing the above packages and see what happens.

Weird. I'm looking at the pages right now. I haven't closed them yet...

Try the main page where the downloads live:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Search/result.aspx?q=Visual+c+++redistributable&x=0&y=0

 

[jonnyhillow]

Try clicking the link to the download , thats when it says not available , will try your other link , thanks.



The other link (last works) however , it says it's x86 not x 64 like the first one i downloaded , is this normal ?

I think it's a MS problem.
Today I've seen several MS pages that one minute it shows "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found".
Then, a few minutes later the page works.

 

[jonnyhillow]

Yeah , thanks i got everything installed though , here is a screenshot , i may have installed a duplicate not sure.

I seem to have two 2008 versions. Everything works now so thank you so much for your help everyone .

 

[jonnyhillow]

OK , i have two x 86 versions of 2008 , is this normal ?

I think what you see/believe might be a duplicate is because of your view, you're not seeing all the info.
Look at LB's screen print in post #2.

You can "stretch" the window wider, or change to Details view, to see more info.

 

[DavidE]

We cross-posted

You're ok, look at Post #2.

 

[jonnyhillow]

Thank you Sir, you and all the responders have been a tremendous help.

You're welcome and glad to hear you got it solved.
