I am trying some games from Escu:de which all won't open. I have nailed the problem down to C++ 2008 being the problem to which I tried to install but run into this error message. I have tried everything from a clean reboot, turning off firewall, update the .NET, scanning and repair using the terminal, running compatibility mode, starting as admin, etc. I uninstalled all Visual C++ from 2005-2022 and redownloaded them all but only the 2008 version continues to give me an error. Like I'm literally doing all this for a nut, please help....
I checked the event viewer log results:
Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161 -- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.ATL,version="9.0.30729.6161",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32"'.

I did a sxstrace and here is the log:
