(Image is of VC 2015-2022 install error)

My friend asked me for some tech support with a Steam game which required an Unreal Engine themed Visual C++ installer. However, it stopped on VC 2019, and gave an error about a network resource. I tried uninstalling all other VC redists from 2015 to 2017, but 2017 did not want to repair or uninstall, but I had to use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall VC 2017. When I went to manually install VC 2015-2022, it gave me the same error for VC 2019 as with the Steam redist. What do I do?

Note: I tested this on my PC, and this does not happen. My friend's laptop also uses Onedrive.

Have you tried just browsing and pointing back to the installer that you downloaded for C++ 2019? Seems counter-intuitive but I've done that before and it works.

It didn't work.
