The main solution, or the troubleshoot compatibility one?

This worked for me. The issue wasn't that I was adding x86 when I would download but that it wouldn't make the change until I uninstalled visual first. Reinstalling it set it to the proper settings. So thank you very much

Hi, I understand this is an old post but hoping you can help. I'm having this exact issue, I've tried to uninstall the C++ x64 and x86. Reinstall both but my laptop wont let me install properly and I have another error message. "Setup Failed. One or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see the log file. 0x80240017 - Unspecified error."

Do you have any ideas what I might be able to do here?

Hey @tomrose you can fix this issue by following the steps below:

• Uninstall all the Visual C++ Redistribute items.
• Run the MS fix it tool to fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/windows-fix-problems-that-block-programs-being-instal...
• Ensure that your OS is fully up to date
• Reboot your machine.
• Download both the following and install: Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC

Let me know how you get on.

The issue is with EA and Origin! You guys need to take responsibility for your issue. Look at what proper game distribution software does: Steam installs VC Runtime automatically to make sure that the software's dependencies are correctly installed instead of shifting blame to the end-user. PLEASE FIX YOUR CRAP, the issue isn't with our computers, the issue is with Origin. FIX IT.
