2.1 r848 Install Problem

Post by Seahorse »

I'm on a business trip for a couple of days, thought I could tinker on the work laptop while away.

2.1 Install on a machine (Win 7 laptop) that has never seem Rainmeter fails with with:
Error: VC++ download failed (resolving hostname)

You might want to try downloading the Visual C++ x64 Redist package manually from rainmeter.cms/redis blah, drone, etc.....
So I figure something screwy with the laptop. Plan B - install 2.0 (works fine) and slap 2.1 over the top. Same error.

The Redist download has no file suffix, so I added .exe and it installed and the at this point 2.1 installs as intended.

So, can someone have a look at the download error and renaming the file just to make life easier for all. TIA :welcome:
