TransDEM 2.2 Reinstallation Problem

I recently upgraded to Win 7 64 bit. When attempting to reinstall Transdem 2.2, I get the following message.

"Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. The following blocking issues must be resolved before you can install Microsoft visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable setup software package.'

Please resolve the following:

A newer version of Microsoft visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine."
Please see the 'Microsoft Visual Studio" website for more information."

I'm unable to find any information related to this problem on the website.

There are two versions of Microsoft visual C++ 2010 Redistributable on the computer, x64, and x86.

Does this involve the uninstalling of one or both of the above?

Thanks, Joe
 
Try repairing both of them using Programs and Features.

Neither of the above referenced versions of Microsoft visual C++ offers a change option when right clicking, or double clicking.

From the original message, I get the impression that the TransDEM installation will install the older version after the newer one is uninstalled, but I don't want to take the chance and remove one or both.

Thanks, Joe
 
TransDEM 2.2 is built against the VS2010 RTM version of the C++ runtime libraries. As a 32bit process it uses the 32bit variant of them. Meanwhile there is a new version, VS2010 SP1 and that's probably the one which is installed on that machine. TransDEM should work with the newer libraries. This means you can and should skip installing the C++ runtime when installing TransDEM. Deselect that checkbox in the TransDEM installer.

It must not have installed, because TransDEM is working.
