Another "Help" Question Involving Computers...

[BigBear]

Ok Computer Geeks...
This guy needs some help.

I recently bought BF3. (A video game for PC). I am seemingly having trouble installing a "Microsoft VC++ (x86) file". There are two of them needed to be installed for the game. A x64 and a x86. The x64 installed fine.

Two errors pop up. The first is a 1603 error. Then a 1935 error.

Things I have tried:

Uninstall all - reinstall.
Manual install from MS.com
Made sure I was running in Admin mode with no exemptions.
I cannot seem to bypass this step of install.


I'm running Win 7/64. I cannot seem to find any fixes on other forums as well even though there are several suggested things as I've tried above.

Any ideas?... I have other folks looking too.

Thanks guys.

P.S. I am a computer idiot, so use small words!! lol

Been going at this for 3 days now... pretty frustrated....

Upon more research, I may be looking at a re-format or a Windows repair install... There has to be another way....

Sorry Big Bear, can't help with that problem.....but if you ever dump a cup of coffee on your laptop and need it cleaned, I'm your man.
