"setup could not find Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (x64) runtime on the machine. Without this, some application functionality will not work."

During the installation of Acrobat Standard DC 2015, if a greater version of Visual C++ Runtime (ex 12.0.41) is installed the following error is generated: "setup could not find Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (x64) runtime on the machine. Without this, some application functionality will not work."

Seems that the AcroPro.msi has a custom action "CheckVCx64Runtime" that checks if Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 (x64) runtime version 12.0.21005 is installed on the machine. If I include the IGNOREVCRT64=1 property in the installation command line in order to avoid this error, but on the machine is installed a different version of Visual C++ Runtime, not 12.0.21005, the full functionality will be affected using this solution?

is this for an enterprise installation?

The installer is looking for that particular version of the C++ Runtime.  It's the 64-bit version.  Is the version you have installed 64-bit or 32-bit?

I have installed a greater version 12.0.41 and it is a x64 version. I know that is looking for a particular version of C++ Runtime and that is 12.0.21005, but what i'm asking is if Acrobat works fine with a grater version of C++ Runtime? Because if i include the IGNOREVCRT64=1 I can skip the check and the app installs without error, but i want to be sure if the full functionality will be affected.

Thanks!

It "should" work as it's still within the same "12.x" versioning number, but I would recommend testing on at least one machine in your environment.
