There is also a link to SP1 on the page as well. &nbsp;It could be that you are running an unpatched version of 2005 runtime.

Hello.<br />
<br />
I am attempting to upgrade a Windows 2003 server from Backup Exec 12.5 to &nbsp;Backup Exec 2010 R3.<br />
<br />
I run into this error during the installation when BE is trying to install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable:<br />
<br />
&quot;FATAL ERROR: Error 1714.The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group&quot; <br />
<br />
When I attempt to manually uninstall this in control panel, I'm asked to find an msi. &nbsp;This particular MSI is no longer on the server.<br />
<br />
I cannot reinstall it from Microsoft's server or from the BE DVD because of the same error (the MSI cannot be found). &nbsp;T<br />
<br />
Two questions - <br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;Should I continue to attempt to uninstall Visual C++ manually either through control panel or through a registry hack?<br />
2. &nbsp;OR is there a way to reinstall VC++ run time to point to a new MSI that can be found?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Cannot Uninstall V C++ 2005 Runtime in order to Upgrade Backup Exec

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
