Title: Abi Word
Post by: foxygrandma on December 19, 2016, 06:59:17 PM

Each time I reinstall Abi Word for a new version, I get the following:

microsoft visual C++2008  distributal

please insert the disk

please wait while Windows configures microsoft visual C++2008  distributal -86.9.0.21022

The other message I get at the same time is microsoft visual C++2008.   Please insert the disk:1 and under that is OK and Cancel.    If I press OK it will keep installing.    If I press Cancel, it  asks Are you sure you want to cancel?      If I press Yes it will keep installing.     If I press NO, it will stop installing.

Anything I can do to prevent this?   Thanks much, Anna Ruth Baldwin

maybe a stupid question but... have you installed the official c++ library?
