The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runetime

Hi I have distributed a commercial game, and a lot of people are having this issue.

“The following component(s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Runetime”

It’s every 1 in maybe 100 people with the issue, most often on a 32bit OS than 64.

They have installed all visual studio redistributables 2005 - 2015 (yes including 2013), direct x, net framework 4.5 and any other dependencies I could think of, it is still popping up with the error.

I am unsure why it keeps saying c++ 2015 runtime is not available when it is installed.

Any help would be fantastic?

Hey did you work this out? Got the same problem.
I’m suprised no one wanted to help.

Strange. What version of the Engine was your game made with? I’m sure the runtimes are included / installed as part of the engine.

I’m assuming the end-users you’re giving it to are installing it, not just copy-pasting?
