Re: Third party payload installer vcredist_x64.exe failed with exit code: 2147942750

hi - here's what worked for me:

1. get the Microsoft VC 2012 from their site http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=30679 - you need to get the 64bit or 32bit version depending on your OS.
2. run it to Uninstall
3. important: exit the Creative Cloud task bar app
4. run the VC2012 and Install this time.

updates and installs worked after much frustration - I think the cause of the problem is Adobe is distributing the x86 [32bit] install of Microsoft VC 2012 instead of the 64bit version which fails on a 64bit OS!!
