Error description

  • I had Rhapsody 7.6 installed on my system and it was working
    fine. To get this to work I initially had to run the
    'vcredist_x86.exe' file to update the registry.
    I then went to upgrade to Rhapsody 7.6.0.1.
    So I:
    1. Uninstalled Rhapsody 7.6
    2. Ran the setup.exe (as the Administrator) from the Rhapsody
    software and was prompted with the window (see install_1.png)
    and selected install.
    3. I then receive the following message (see install_2.png). Why
    should I then continue with the Rhapsody installation.
    4. I then decide to run the 'vcredist_x86.exe' outside of
    Rhapsody the way it was done in version 7.6 and receive the
    following message. (see install_3.png)
    
    Problems:
    1. I see these messages and now have doubts as to whether I
    should even install Rhapsody. No faith even if I do.
    2. I f this was resolved in the initial release of 7.6 why is it
    trying to install.
