Run the Fix it tool to fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed. Re-run the Visual Studio 2015 C installer as administrator, then click the icon besides 'Launch' and choose 'Repair' to perform a repair and continue the setup process. Hope to hear from you soon.

This package contains the run-time components of Visual C++ Libraries needed for running applications on a PC without Visual C++ installed
Whenever you want to run an application that requires components of Visual C++ , you might start downloading this Integrated Development Environment without any further consideration. However, you can download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package2015 or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015 and get the same libraries you required in the first place.
Necessary runtime components included
Once you install these runtime components, you are able to run apps developed with Visual C++ even if you do not have Visual C++ installed on your computer. Note that the installation comes with packages for both x64 and x86 CPU architectures. However, you can install both of them since there's a chance you'll encounter various apps which require specific libraries from both packages.
The package contain a wide range of useful components including C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP or MSDIA libraries.
Enhances app compatibility
When it comes to libraries that feature support for side-by-side deployment model, such as ATL, MFC, CRT, SCL, OpenMP, they get installed into the native assembly cache, also known as WinSxS folder. It needs to be mentioned that this happens only if the host computer runs an operating system that supports such side-by-side assemblies.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package provides you with the appropriate libraries required by both ClickOnce and Windows Installer applications. In other words, regardless of the deployment type of the app you want to run, as long as it was developed in Visual C++, you are able to launch it without having to worry about errors or incompatibility issues.
In conclusion...
Even though Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package might seem targeted at programmers and other tech savvy users, it should find its way on most computers of day-to-day users since there are numerous software solutions created in Visual C++ which, consequently, require the specified libraries in order to run smoothly.

You may think that unless you explicitly use some external library (like FMOD), your program will not require any additional libraries to work, but when coding in C++ using Visual Studio, this is not the case. The functions of standard C/C++ library are implemented in a package of DLL-s called Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. Each version of Visual Studio has their own set. For example, version for Visual Studio 2013 (Release configuration) consists of files: msvcr120.dll, msvcp120.dll.
You can make your application not requiring this library by setting your project options in Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library to 'Multi-threaded [Debug]' without the 'DLL' part, which makes it statically linked. Alternatively, you can distribute these DLL files (although I'm not sure if this is legal) or the whole library installer together with your application. The library is small and free, available to download from Microsoft website:
- 2008 SP1: x86, x64
- 2010 SP1: x86, x64
- 2012 Update 4 (all versions)
- 2013 (all versions)
- 2015 Update 3 (all versions)
The question is: can you launch the installer of these packages with some special parameter so the user doesn't have to go through all the setup wizard, confirming each step? The answer is yes, but as Microsoft likes to change everything very often :) the exact command line is different depending on version. Here is the whole set:
Visual Studio 2005 (original one):
Visual Studio 2005, x86 (32-bit version):vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:'VCREDI~1.EXE /q:a /c:'msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn'
Visual Studio 2005, x64 (64-bit version):vcredist_x64.exe /q:a /c:'VCREDI~2.EXE /q:a /c:'msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn' '
Visual Studio 2005 SP1, x86:vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:'VCREDI~3.EXE /q:a /c:'msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn' '
Visual Studio 2005 SP1, x64:vcredist_x64.exe /q:a /c:'VCREDI~2.EXE /q:a /c:'msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn' '
If you would like to install it in unattended mode (which will show a small progress bar but not require any user interaction), you can change the '/qn' switch above to '/qb'. Unattended mode + disabled 'Cancel' button is '/qb!'.
Visual Studio 2005 (updated - the one I use):
/Q
- quiet mode
Visual Studio 2008: Just pass one of these parameters:
/q
- quiet mode, no user interface./qb
- unattended mode, shows progress bar but no user interaction required./qb!
- unattended mode with 'Cancel' button disabled.
Visual Studio 2010 and 2012:
/q /norestart
- quiet mode/passive /norestart
- passive (unattended) mode
Visual Studio 2013, 2015, 2017:
/install /quiet /norestart
- quiet mode/install /passive /norestart
- passive (unattended) mode
To quickly install all of these libraries on the machines where lots of different applications are launched that may require them, I gathered all the libraries in one directory and I have written following BAT script:
Update: I also prepared a full package with my script and 'pirated' copy of all these installers for your convenience: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.zip (77.3 MB).
Update 2019-12-20: I've updated the package to contain latest redistributable installers for Visual Studio 2015/2017/2019, as described on Microsoft's page The latest supported Visual C++ downloads.
