Hi,
I am trying to install SQL Server 2016 Standard on a VM . first time the installation worked fine but had to uninstall it and re-install .
Now I am getting error VS shell installation has failed with exit code 1638.
does that mean that in the uninstall process something was uninstalled that shouldn't have been ?
The server already have MS Visual C++ 2015 and C++ 2013 Redistributable
Shouldn't the SQL 2016 installation install all the prerequisites?
Do I need to install MS Visual C++ 2016 Redistributable ? Is there a link to install it.
The server is Windows Server 2016 Standard.
Thanks!

Try a repair of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) and then do a restart
