This is the link that you want (need) as of 6/5/17, choose between the 32bit (x86) or the 64bit (x64) or just install both if you have a 64bit (x64) based system.

Hint: The 32 bit is the most commonly used for app and program development as it will run on both 32bit and 64bit PC's.

You need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC from the link supplied in the marked as answer reply to this thread, the 32bit version download and install of the data link library will be the most likely one that you will need, even if you are using a 64bit system, however, if the app that needs the file to run was developed for a 64bit OS only then you will need the 64bit version. You can install both versions on a 64bit system as a 64bit system will run both 32bit and 64bit apps and/or programs.

Here is the link again, for your convenience.

    I fixed the problem by trying to install the VC++ studio community version (because I thought such complete studio suite should have a way to solve the problem completely). When I run the VC++ installer, I get an error saying that I need to install this update first:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=42335

    which is Windows 8.1 Update for x64-based Systems (KB2919355)

    The link might suggest several different patches but I just select the KB2919355 patch which takes a while to download and install.

    After restarting the computer a few times to complete this installation, I can successfully install vc_redist.x64.exe now.

    Good luck!
