Visual Studio Redistributable packages (to 5.)

The Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributable packages depend on Windows updates. If the corresponding Windows updates have not been installed, the installation will fail at this point.

The Visual Studio Redistributable packages also require administrator rights for installation. If there are no administrator rights for the computer, the setup cannot continue.

You can use "Start" -> "System control" -> "Programmes and functions" to check whether all Visual Studio Redistributable packages have been installed.

If the Visual Studio Redistributable packages are missing, the GP Manger will usually not start.

Troubleshooting

  • Try to install the Visual Studio Redistributable packages manually.
  • The Visual Studio Redistributable packages are located in the .\GpTools\Vcredist_* folders. You can execute the individual setup files from these folders manually.
     GpTools\Vcredist_2008_SP1\vcredist_x86.exe
