Issue
When trying to install Tableau Desktop the following error occurs,"Error 0x80070666"
Last Modified Date: 10 Apr 2018
Environment
- Tableau Desktop
- Windows 10
- Visual C++ Redistributable 2017
- Visual Studio 2017
Resolution
- Uninstall Visual C++ Redistributable 2017
- Reinstall Tableau Desktop.
Cause
When Tableau Desktop is installed, part of the installation is VC_redist for 2015. If VC_redist for 2017 is installed, it will not allow an earlier version of VC_redist to be installed, causing the installation of Tableau Desktop to fail.Additional Information
For more information about this workaround, see the Dev Community post from Visual Studio: Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 cannot be installed when VS2017 RC is installed.
