When you try to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64 or x86, the error 0x8007015e<\/code> may appear.<\/p>\n

Setup Failed\n\nOne or more issues caused the setup to fail. Please fix the issues and then retry setup. For more information see the log file.\n\n0x8007015e - No action was taken as a system reboot is required.<\/pre>\n
\"vc++<\/p>\n
If the VC++ redist is part of the game setup package (e.g., Battlefield from Origin), the following error may appear:<\/p>\n
Error: The VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. (2147942750)<\/pre>\n
\"vc++<\/p>\n
Note that 2147942750<\/code> is the decimal equivalent of the hex value 0x8007015e<\/code>. Both errors mean one and the same. The error code’s description is “No action was taken as a system reboot is required”.<\/p>\n
No matter how many times you reboot Windows, the same error may occur when attempting to install or repair the package. This happens even though the PendingFileRenameOperations<\/code> registry value is empty.<\/p>\n
Clicking on the “log file” link in the VC++ error message window opens the log file. However, the log shows no useful information about the error other than the following:<\/p>\n

Also, attempting to install the update via Windows Update may cause the following error:<\/p>\n
\"vc++<\/p>\n
Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package (KB3119142) - Error 0x80070643<\/pre>\n
Due to this issue, you may be unable to install and run some games due to missing VC++ runtimes<\/a> — e.g., Apex Legends, Battlefield, etc.<\/p>\n
Solution<\/h2>\n
To resolve the error 0x8007015e<\/code> when installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, delete the two remnant registry entries added during the earlier installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Start the Registry Editor by running regedit.exe<\/code><\/li>\n
  2. Go to the following branch and expand the branch:\n
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  3. Look for a subkey containing the string “.RebootRequired<\/strong><\/code>“. For example<\/strong>, it may be “{ca67548a-5ebe-413a-b50c-4b9ceb6d66c6}.RebootRequired<\/strong><\/code>“<\/li>\n
  4. Right-click on the .RebootRequired<\/strong><\/code> key and choose Delete.
    \n\"vc<\/li>\n
  5. Repeat the same for each key that contain the “.RebootRequired<\/strong><\/code> string.<\/li>\n
  6. Exit the Registry Editor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    If one of the above keys doesn’t exist, ignore it and proceed to the next step.<\/em><\/p>\n
