vc_runtimeMinimum_x86 packages missing after removing Hor agent 7.8
This has got me stumped. We have a couple hundred Win10 (21h1 - 22H2) static VM's that have the older Horizon 7.8 agent. This agent is problematic in many ways including just upgrading it. You can't do an inplace upgrade. You must uninstall, reboot then attempt to install a newer agent.
This issue seemed to creep in over the last couple months where the uninstall of the agent removes (all?) of the Visual C++ x86 runtime msi packages that are required for newer agent version installs. I've tried updating the runtimes with latest packages from MS but just the install of those is balking about the older MSI's missing. This reminds me of DLL hell of the old days of windows.
The screenshot is when attemping to install the 8.7 agent. If I try to install a slightly older agent it complains about a prior runtime missing. I've tried using the supposed MS wondertool MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta app but that doesn't work.
Anybody have this issue and found a solution?
Has anybody found a way to repair these libraries?
Thanks!
