Getting a 'vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi' error whenever I try to play Warzone. Anyone know what's going on? Screenshot in post.

Getting this error. Have tried manually installing the latest x86 Visual C++ runtime, but get this error when I run the installer. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it?

There is no screenshot posted. However, it looks like you are getting help from Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/18eksv1

Surprised the links aren't highlighted. The first image is hyperlinked to "error" in the first sentence; second image is hyperlinked to "manually"; third image is hyperlinked to "this error" in the second sentence.

Hah, yea. Figured I'd get a second opinion. Would you agree that a full reformat is necessary?

Have you tried just reinstalling the game? The game installer should be able to tell if you are running the correct version for the game and install it if necessary.

Yea, tried reinstalling. Same error. So...once I get the error, if I hit cancel, the game still boots up. Any reason I shouldn't just ignore the error and play as is? Could this come back to bite me in the ass in the future if I don't resolve this now?

I'd try downloading and installing the latest C++ 2022 runtime from Microsoft

Get the same error, unfortunately.

Rip out that copy of C++ redistributable with Revo Uninstaller and reinstall it.

So, installed Revo Uninstaller. Uninstalled all versions of C++. Tried running the latest installer of C++ but I'm still running into the same error. Any idea what else I can try?

Check the installer folder of whatever you're trying to run and see if that specific installer is in there.
Additionally uninstall and reinstall the game.
