When installing the PowerDesigner client we receive the message below that a Microsoft Visual C++ package is required. When we select INSTALL, the operation fails due to a higher version already being present on the machine. We continue with the installation and we do not encounter further errors. Can this C++ Redistributable install failure safely be ignored? (We would prefer not to remove a higher version of the Redistributable in order to install an earlier version for PowerDesigner.)
