　　Cause analysis

　　The vast majority of information on the Internet is the following two reasons:

　　1. One of the reasons for this problem: your computer's Windows Installer service is not turned on.

The solution is to open the control panel → admin → service, the Windows Installer service open, and set to Automatic, and then restart the computer.

　　2. The reason for this problem is that the runtime library for Visual Studio is not installed on your computer.

The application, which was developed by Visual Studio 2005 and above, relies on the appropriate runtime, and the runtime is not installed on your computer. (For applications developed by VC6 or VS2003, if a library file is missing, it prompts for a missing "**.dll", but VS2005 or VS2008 only prompts "due to improper application configuration ...". ）

Instead of reloading the application, rather than reloading the system, the solution is to install the appropriate runtime (Microsoft Visual C + + 20** redistributable Package, Vcredist_x86.exe.

★ It is difficult to distinguish which version of your program is VS, and even some of the software is developed by multiple versions of Vcredist_x86.exe that are compatible with each other and can solve the same problems with most software on your computer. (2005 and 2008 are installed and "Add/Remove Programs" will appear as shown in Figure 5).
