Problem installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express

Recently I had difficulties installing programs. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit. Today, I tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express with disappointing results.

I went through the installation, and it says that the program has been installed successfully. However, I could not locate the program to open it. I ran a search that returned no results. The start menu did not light up like it normally does when there are new programs. I looked in the start menu > all programs and there was a folder titled "Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express. The folder was empty.
I went into C > Program Files (x 86) and I saw different folders containing additional files for the program. I finally found what I believed to be the program itself, "VCExpress." I double clicked and the start screen for the program came, followed by an error message indicating "folder data Application for Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express could not be created." I tried to run as an administrator, and the error message says "the application cannot start."
If I try to re - install, it says that it is already installed. I uninstalled via Control Panel > uninstall program and re-installed several times with the same results. I had similar problems with other programs, and they all seem to be Microsoft programs.
EDIT: The problem seems to have something to do with my AppData folder. When I go to C > users he's not here, but if I try to create a folder with that name, it says there is already a folder with that name.

  • Problem installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2005

    I am trying to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x 64) and the installation fails with an error that reads:

    Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly ' Microsoft. VC80. ATL, type = "win32", version = "8.0.50727.762", publicKeyToken = "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture = "amd64" If you please refer to help and Support for more information.

    I have not tried to reinstall all other versions of the redistributable packages (2008 and 2010, the x 64 and x 86 versions of each), because I don't want to have to face the same error when I try to reinstall to see if I can reproduce the error. How to install?

    Edit: I also get this error when I try to install SP1 for Microsoft Flight simulator X, because installation requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 to work.

    Well, it turns out that my computer was apparently missing in some updates, notably those concerning the .net Framework package. Install said updates seems to have solved the problem.

  • Visual C++ 2010 Express on Windows 7 64-bit slows everything

    Hello

    After suffering for a week, I can find no clear response from everyone and decided to seek the help of this community. I am trying to do the work of development using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. I recorded my Visual C++ so that it works without obvious interruption. When I am trying to build my code in Visual C++ Express, it slows down the normal behavior of my machine. For example, a browser window or a file browser explore (My Computer) takes about 20 seconds to appear after clicking. The volume control bar takes forever to pop up. I followed the process on the Task Manager window, but nothing is abnormal, and memory consumption is well below the red line. More important still, this happens whenever I try to work in C++. Do not do Java (Java obviously has its own virtual machine so everything goes not on a virtual computer died there too; does not affect the machine). The only problem I managed to isolate is probably the 64-bit windows.
    I've been Googling for an acceptable answer but can't find anything. People are formulating opinions ranging from the instruction sets at low altitude on the PC with the ambiguity of high-level code. I don't know what on Earth is wrong. I have core i5, Memory Cache L3, 8 GB of RAM and 500 GB HARD drive. This cannot be a problem of the standard of PC...

    A number of responses I received offered possible solutions that I had tried and has said on this subject in previous updates (for example, to run the installation of the data .msi on the installation CD).  Then I still had possession of the ST2011 software, I don't was not informed of Microsoft resetting tool mentioned by Mike L.
