GuitaRig 6 Fix Installation

DiegoCosta

Hi there to everyone!

I´m having a problem with Guitar Rig v6.2.2. I´m unable to install it because of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

Initially as I already had Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) installed, I thought that no problem would occur because it have all versions so far... but suddenly at the end of the installation process I got an error. The error message window is in portuguese, but what it basically means is that another version of the product already exists.

Then I downloaded at this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 and I reinstalled it. No success again *same error message*

So I uninstalled again this year's version and the Visual C++ 2015-19 was installed through the install executable and then it didnt give any installation error. However, the standalone doesnt open and the dll don´t appear in my DAW.

I´m stuck with this trouble, 2015-22 version is supposed to already contain the version required by Guitar Rig 6, alright?

Who can help me? Thank You!

After a clean and successful installation Guitar Rig was crashing at startup as I said before.

So I followed your link https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015289417-GUITAR-RIG-Crashes-at-Startup-Windows- I think the main problem in this situation comes from Microsoft... so as far as you´re concerned it´s fixed.

Thanks anyway for your suggestion. Best regards @Jeremy_NI

@DiegoCosta Could you give these a go ? That's what we usually advise when facing this issue:

Deactivate Firewalls and Antivirus programms

Run the System File Integrity Checker

Run DISM

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/947821/fix-windows-update-errors-by-using-the-dism-or-system-update-readiness

Make sure all of the latest Windows Updates are installed by running this minitool:

Make sure all the Redistributable packages are installed and not corrupted by running this minitool:

Please make sure the latest graphic card drivers are installed and in case you have two monitors connected, please try to unplug one of them.

This is intended for Windows 7 and 10 but should apply for Windows 11.
