0x80240017 error while installing microsoft visual C++ redistributable

I'am trying to install Microsoft visual C++ redistributable x64 and getting a 0x80240017 error.

How can I resolve this?

The error code 0x80240017 means WU_E_NOT_APPLICABLE - Operation was not performed because there are no applicable updates. This means the MSU can't be installed because:

• requirements to install the update are missing
• update is already installed
• update is superseded (already replaced with newer version)

Look if you ave the update KB2999226 (Universal C Runtime) already installed and remove it.
