Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 Installer displaying in Chinese

Question

I need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 but when I run it, it opens in Chinese even though I selected English. I have tried in three different browsers. When I right click the downloaded file from Microsoft, it says English in the details.

I am not familiar with Microsoft support, and I couldn't find any place to report anything. I am afraid to install it and do any damage. Any suggestions?

I also see Chinese text as opposed to the anticipated English. Looks like someone messed up -- hopefully it gets fixed soon. – Cordiality

Voting to re-open. Questions about "software tools commonly used by programmers" are on topic as per the FAQ. – Beare

Haha can't believe this is off topic. – Papery

Answer 1

It is a problem on Microsoft side, that has been reported, and a fix should be available sooner or later.

Meanwhile, if you have installed the complete Visual Studio 2012 update 4, the redistributable msi that were installed locally are free from this problem, find them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\1033.

I've put the correct msi (links deleted).

EDIT

The official link is now fixed, download is correct.

For me installation from the folder Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\1033 didn't help, instead I copied files from '\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\Debug_NonRedist\x86\Microsoft.VC110.DebugCRT' – Laminitis

It is a 404 error ... I cannot find that Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 anywhere ... – Rakehell

Now you should be able to download it from my.visualstudio.com/downloads . You should have visual studio subscriptions for this – Rhigolene
