You might be aware of the media player software application called Kodi. I have been using it for almost a year now on my mobile phone. I tried installing it on my laptop as well but failed due to the above error (mentioned in the post title ;)). Since i was getting the job done on my mobile anyways, i allowed this error to prevent me from installing it on the lappy.
Being a performance testing professional, am not really used to giving up on issues. Hence, decided to give one more try. Below is what i did to resolve the issue (hope it proves useful to you as well):
1. Install all the pending windows updates
2. Go to Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update and click Check for updates
3. Install all pending updates and restart the computer.After the restart, repeat the above steps till no more updates are found.
4. Download the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015.
- For Windows 64-bit
- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (64-bit)
- For Windows 32-bit
- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (32-bit)
5. Run the vcredist_x64.exe (64-bit) or vcredist_x86.exe (32-bit) and select Uninstall, if already installed.
6. Run the .exe again and select Install and restart the computer.
This is what really worked for me and i have Kodi working on my laptop :)
