I am trying to install this package: Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.27810.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
The installation keeps failing with this error message: App installation failed with error message: error 0x80073D02: Unable to install because the following apps need to be closed Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.0.32912.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe. (0x80073d02)
Interestingly the x86 version of the package managed to install successfully, but the x64 didn't. What can I do to get the package to install?
Thank you for your time.
I ran into the same issue and it is funny how you need to close the desktop installer to use desktop installer.
What worked is running from PowerShell:
Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx
