Topic: Apache VC14 having trouble in 2012 R2 Server

[Anitha]

Hi Team,

Have a Great day.

I have compiled the Apache 2.4.23 with VC 14. successfully compiled and i am able to install on 2012 servers with vc_redist.x64.exe update3 patch.

Issue 1:
compiled the Apache in win32 and do we need to install both vc_redist.x64.exe vc_redist.x86.exe to up and run the Apache process ?

Issue 2:
2012 R2 servers does not allow to install vc_redist.exe both 64 and 32 bit. getting setup failed error.
Beased on the error i have installed windows patch "Windows8.1-KB2999226-x64" and retried the vc update 3. Still facing the same setup error issue.

Error : 0x80240017: Failed to execute MSU package.

Team please help me to resolve the issue.

Thanks in Advance,
Anitha.S

I had this happen. I was able to install the update redistributable only after I installed the original VC redistributable (not any update). I installed the first one and then I was able to install the update version that was available at the time.

You only need the 32 bit unless you are running something else that is x64. Your OS is x64 so you may as well do both anyway, they are not huge like a .Net framework.

Hi, the following instructions work for Windows 8.1, but I suspect it is exactly the same problem:

Due to a known limitation on the implementation of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (v14.0) Redistributable Package Update 3, its installation on Windows® 8.1 requires that both the additional, optional April 2014 KB2919355 Cumulative Update and the May 2014 KB2975061 servicing stack update for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 are previously installed on the system.

Since KB2919355 has its own set of prerequisites and dependencies, in the end all the following updates need to also be previously installed on Windows® 8.1 systems, in the following specific order:

KB2975061
ClearCompressionFlag
KB2919355 (including updates KB2932046, KB2959977, KB2937592, KB2938439 and KB2934018)
KB2999226
At this point, if all the previously mentioned Windows® updates have been successfully installed, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (v14.0) Redistributable Package Update 3 can also be successfully installed.

More details (and links) in the "How to manually install the required Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages?" section of the following webpage:

Hope this helps

Hi Anitha,

I believe that's because, if I remember well, there were specific versions of those KB packages for different Windows versions.

Try to make sure to find the appropriate version of the KBs for Windows Server 2012, as the ones for Windows 8.1 are most likely not valid.

Good luck!
