Unable to install Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime
I am just trying to install OME and get the following Prerequisite error:
You must install MS Visual Studio Runtime before installing the Essentials component feature of the Management Station.
When I click on the provided link, it asks if I want to install. When I answer Yes, it appears to start installation, goes back to the prerequisites screen with the same error.
Help?

Hi and thanks for the question.
Interesting...
Well you can try running the VS runtime manually:
.\windows\ManagementStation\support\vcredist_x64.exe
You might also uninstall any existing runtimes. If that does not work, we may need you to open a ticket to poke around and see what's up.
Thanks,
Rob

Ok, did you uninstall the older versions of the RT? Seems like there is something going on with older versions perhaps.

Solved. Thought that your path was c:\windows rather than the Windows directory in the Essential zip file.

Yes, uninstalled all versions of MS Visual C++ and rebooted the server. Same error.
