Install vcrun2012 manually (64bit)

[basickarl]

I understand that there has been issues around getting vcrun2012 to install and execute on 64bit systems. SO I am asking, how I do this manually?

I have tried to install via winetricks resulting in the image below:



However, if I go into winetricks it looks like this, notice that the size is not filled in:



This seems to do it's job, but when I try and install Adobde Illustrator CC the installation freezes at the following screen shot:



So it's very clear it is related to this.

I have even tried via playonlinux, when I press install in the following image nothing happens:



So. How can I fix this manually as a workaround?

Winetricks only installs 32 bit vcrun2012. If you need 64 bit, download and run the installer yourself. You will have to then copy the installed dlls from SysWoW64 to System32 because of http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30713. It still may not work.

Hello!
Thanks for your answer. I read the bug report.

I have tried to install the patch as shown below:

I try and install it but it jams as shown:

Winetricks uses cabextract to extract the dlls and then manually copies them to the directory. Try that.

Was able to fix the issue.

I did it through PlayOnLinux. Created a new 64-bit prefix, went into Wine->Configure Wine and changed the Windows version to Windows 8.

Then went into Miscellaneous->Run a .exe file in this virutal drive and selected the 2012 redist file.

This however did not work with 2013 redist 64bit. I had to download the dll's manually for that. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... .110).aspx is reference to which dll's affect development for 2012 redist!
