Every time I run Music Studio 11, im prompted to upgrade. So I have been trying but it always fails at installing the Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable . I have tried downloading the version from microsoft and running a repair, then installing the update - Failed again. Tried removing it and letting the Auto update install it fresh, nope its not having that ether.

 

Any ideas?

@stuart-cassie The program is attempting to install an older version of the C++ Redistributables than the one already installed on your system. This will not work. The installer does not seem to recognize that you already have a newer version installed. You must uninstall the version on your computer, then run the update, and finally reinstall it from Microsoft.
