Visual Basic 2010 Express error

Hi

I am trying to get this program to work for a colleague but no matter if i try to reinstall, repair or uninstall it comes up that their has a been a 2908 error. I am using an admin rights user account.

I searched the web a bit and a few aim towards .Net Framework needing updating or repairing but if i try that is just fails near the end without any kind of error code message. Just says installer failed to complete task please close installer.

Any ideas people?
 
Solution
DLL files for installer gone bad, install latest visual C 2010 runtimes, reboot, install latest .net v4, reboot, check WIndows update for any patches.

Or have you though of going to the free VS2017 Community Edition?
