You said "there wasnt any option,but there was an error with the installation of the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages".

Find these exact packages and install them manually, or simply google which ones does the game require and download+install them.

Yes there are many editions of this package (visual c++), different edition every year and more so you need to find that specific one that the game requires. 1 more fact, for example, it is not enough to have the latest one installed, you still have to download a 2015 for example edition even if you have a 2016 version already.

I fell ya :D now i never skip the installation of these small additional packages and .dll files - almost every program has them, because downloading and installing .dll files manually is really very frustrating..

Use this uninstaller first .
https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases


Then get these .
http://www.thinmanager.com/kb/index.php/Visual_Studio_2015_Redistributable_Installation


Then finally you can put update 3 on .

the setup required was the 2008 redistributable setup. I tried the setup that came with the game and also downloaded a seperate setup file, but everytime the same error message pops up- "ERROR 997. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress"

Thats the 2008

use this first https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/joy/2009/10/16/microsoft-visual-studio-2008-rcrtm-uninstall-tool/
Then put the studio back on fresh.

The only other thing I noticed is it requires service pack 1 from windows updates.

...Trippy.

Making sure your computer is kept up to date is important. If your Windows isn't fully updated, you stand a good chance of having issues like this one.
