ISSUE WITH VISUAL STUDIO

[V3SPER]

So basically I ran into some issues with installing solidworks from getintoPC.com(something w the registry-i made a backup so i reapplied it after reinstalling windows as i couldn't boot into windows)...all my drivers and software were gone so i tried reinstalling them and had trouble with the AMD chipset drivers, the fix given was to remove/reinstall visual but i am unable to do so, and i don't wanna reinstall windows all over again
any assistance with proper know-how n steps appreciated

It looks like you may have deleted the uninstall files for the VC runtime - have you run any non-MS disk cleanup utilities on that machine? (the option these have to remove uninstallers will break things like this). You might have some luck if you download and reinstall the VC runtimes, then do the uninstall, which can be downloaded from:

 

VC2010

 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=14632 (x64)

 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5555 (x86)

 

VC2008

 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=15336 (x64)

 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29 (x86)
