Description

I'm having an issue with installing the latest version. I get the 0x80070666 error while installing while it tries to install/process the 14.0.23918 MS VC++ Redistributable. I recently had a HDD fail which may have had that package on it and it doesn't appear in my program list.

Research direction

Start with the attached Keybase_20170511180710.txt log and the installer step that processes the 14.0.23918 MS VC++ Redistributable. Determine why installation returns 0x80070666 after the reported HDD failure; done means the latest version installs successfully without that error.
