The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "vcredist.msi" in the box below

if i cklick ok it just pops up again

Have you tried removing the Visual C++ runtimes from the Programs and Feature control panel?

Just a guess.

 

[Blacksky]

no...
how do i do it ?

Read up at the game forums...some games inorder to fix certain issues may ask you to rip the game from the disk and install that way,due to issues that arise during an install. I know I had somewhat a similar problem with WoW and that was a fix for it. Make sure you wipe your C: drive clean of all files from the game, and the registry keys as well. They to will give errors upon re-installations. Also check to see if the game implores Securom security...if so it may have an issue with the install. Securom has known issues with making games horrible to reinstall.

two ways.....
1)go to control panel- Programmes- uninstall-select Visual C++ runtimes
2) download revo free........Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download
select Visual C++ you want to remove........
