  • Visual C++ 2005 and 2008

    The Visual C++ 2005 and 2008, represented with a black OWL in the Add/Remove Programs list? Mine don't. Is this OWL a signs of a virus or it is normal?

    There was a few other users who have faced a similar problem. It seems that this problem is caused by MS Works. It is not a virus or a malicious file. It is the installation of Visual C++ normal but with a different icon.

    This problem occurs when an installation file does not provide this information, and Windows is forced to guess. For more information, please see the articles on the links below:

    Do not delete one of them.  They are there for a reason.  The amount of space, you can free up is negligible anyway.  When you can buy a 1.5 TB for $90 hard drive, it's a waste of time and effort to worry about a few megabytes.  And if you delete something you need, the consequences can be disastrous.

    By the way 1 TB = 1 000 000 megabytes.

  • "Error 1714. The old version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable cannot be deleted. Contact your technical support group. »

    (Windows 7 64-bit)

    This can be long and winded, but I spent 5 hours trying to solve this problem.

    It all started when I tried to uninstall a program, but I kept getting the message that wanted me vcredit.msi (or something like that) I downloaded a copy of it and pointed out the program of this file, but it has always found a problem and wouldn't uninstall. (Add/Remove programs won't uninstall it not more)

    So, I moved to the installation of a new program. He repeats to me '\Temp\IXP1. TMP\ is not a valid package for the product Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005

    Hello Angelz,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    The error you get can be caused by components from Visual C++ Runtime libraries that are missing or get conflicted, perhaps due to a third party software or badly configured registry settings.

    (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.)

    c. click change settings , and then select the Advanced tab click the environment variables button.

    d. the user variables area, click on TEMPand then click change.

    e. in the Variable value box, type C:\Temp, and then click OK twice.

    f. click applyand then click OK.

    g. follow steps 4 to 6 for the variable of environment TMP as well.

    h. confirm this folder C:\Temp exist, otherwise create a.

    i. restart the computer.

    j. attempt to install the application again.

    If the steps do not help, try the next method.
