MS Visual C++ Redistri issue which prevented installation of an EP security agent
I hv an issue with a VM running Win2008 R2 x64.
After uninstalling the older Ver 8.0 of an endpoint security product, I was not able
to install a newer version nor install back the old Ver 8.0. The very same process
of uninstall & installing with newer version works without error on hundreds of
other Win2008 R2 x64 VMs, it's just this AD VM.
The other partner AD VM is Ok. Is there any easy way I can compare between the
two & copy over from the good VM to the broken VM whatever files that are
corrupted?
