Installing 2015 distrubtion C++ on windows 11 goes wrong for Open JK

[Lazarus]

So it's been nagging a bit on my nerves as I cant test maps on my laptop. Radiant runs fine, and I can compile, but i always have to switch over to my desktop if i want to test things.

I recently bought an Acer Nitro, and upgraded it to an windows 11.

When i follow the installation of Open JK, which i use on my desktop, i bump into the issue with windows C++ distribution of 2015, which won't install, cause i have newer. Appearantly I cant go back, even when I try to reinstall it all. Is this a Windows 11 bug? Or am i doing something wrong?

Anybody else has had this issue?

Do you actually need it for OpenJK? Is it giving the missing DLL error? That’s the only time you need to install the VS 2015.

I’ve been running Windows 11 for over a year now and haven’t had an issue.

Yes it is the dll error that plays up. Hence i need to install that.Sorry, I wasn't clear on that part.

What is the exact error you get when trying to install the 2015 redist?

Sorry for late reply on this thread. lol. I decided for a while to work from upstairs, but summer makes it unbearable there, so i figured lets try laptop again

 Never mind, figured it out, it was not the distribution that failed me, it was the openJK installation. APpearantly something went wrong in the original files, i grabbed a new set, and re-replaced the files for openJK. Worked like a charm.
