Installation error: The files for installation requirement Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package (x64) could not be found

Question:

I tried to install Tekla Structures on my new laptop (no earlier Tekla Structures installations) and got the following error message:

"The files for installation requirement Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package (x64) could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed, or canceled download."

 

Answer:

It appeared that the user did not have local admin rights to his computer and the third party software BeyondTrust was prohibiting the installation of the C++ Redistributable files.

If admin rights cannot be given, another solution is to install the C++ Redistributable Package separately first and then try Tekla Structures installation again.
