I have a fully updated Visual Studio Professional 2017 installed, and I am now trying to install SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition, but receive the following error message (translated to English by me) and the installation of the SQL server aborts:
The Visual Studio-Runtime Microsoft "Visual C++ 2019 X64 Minimum Runtime - 14.22.27821" has to be repaired.
The error message points me to a guide how to repair or remove programs, so I tried reinstalling SQL Server 2017 and Visual Studio, but both does not help, the error persists.
Is there anything else I could try to fix that broken runtime library? Does it matter that I also have/had the community version of Visual Studio Code installed?
I am not exactly sure what exactly solved my problem, what I tried doing is the following
Apps & features within the Windows Settings, I "repaired" all apps with a similar name to the error message, i.e. everything of the kind Microsoft Visual C++ 20xx Redistributable (x86) with xxbeing a 2-digit year, or a year range such as 15-2019.Point 2 might have just cargo cult to ease my mind, but all of this did not solve the issue yet.
Eventually I decided to install SQL Server 2017 Express rather than SQL Server 2017 Developer which miraculously worked. I can not rule out that my IT department solved it by obtaining additional licenses, since I am not able to figure out the exact time when the new keys got active.
