I'm back bitches

Hi everyone, I have this Installation Failed problem whenever W3D Launcher has finished downloading the files and then installation always fails when installing "msvc-2013.zip". It won't go anywhere beyond that point. *Here's what I've tried to fix the problem but to no avail: - I have cleared the APB cache, deleting everything in "C:\ProgramData\W3D Hub\Launcher\package-cache\games\apb" - Re-downloading all Red Alert APB files through the launcher, no download problems. - Download finished smoothly but installation fails every time when installing the "msvc-2013.zip" - I've repeated the steps above for 4 (four) times and still stuck on failing to install the "msvc-2013.zip" Hope anyone knows a workaround for this problem. Kindly thank you for your time and attention lads, best regards

If you don't see Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) or (x64) in your Programs & Features list, you can try installing these packages separately: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 Once you install them, try installing APB again. The installer might then skip msvc-2013.zip altogether. Other than that, your log shows Exit Code 5 at the end, which means "Access denied". Have you run the launcher as an administrator and then tried installing?

It would appear that someone did their homework before posting the question. Kudos to you sir Maybe we can get this worked out for you!

Ah I see, thanks for the quick and informative feedback I'll look on my Visual C thingie on my PC. See if there's corrupted installation and maybe getting a latest updated version of it or sort could fix it. As for the errors.txt this is what I've found from: C:\Users\[My Username]\Documents\W3D Hub\Launcher *(posted with this reply) errors.log

I'm not sure why the APB team are still using msvc 2013 in the first place, I thought it wasn't needed anymore... Might need to check up on that. In the meantime, the error you're seeing is that Microsoft's visual c runtime (msvc) isn't installing correctly - we just run the installer that Microsoft provide so I'm not sure why that would fail. Can you send me the errors.txt file from my documents/w3d hub/launcher so we can see what the Microsoft installer reported as an error (if anything)
