The package installs silently, no message, no warning, but still your
utility fails to detect it.
I think for now I'll stop worrying about.
Since Clarion9 works well ( apart few locks here and then ) , I don't
think I want to reinstall all over again just to try having a correct
registry key .
I use Clarion9 regularly ( as interface to clarion6/8 , for now).
The few problems I see are just about the same as other have noticed :
some locks here and then .... no more than what I had with Clarion8.

I don't think so <g>. This redistributable does NOT run silently at all.
If it executed silently on your machine then it failed <g>. And please
allow me to repeat myself, the utility did not "fail" to detect it. The
required VC++2005 is simply not there so there is nothing to detect ;-)
!!!!!!
See attached screenhot. The Microsoft redistributable will do this on
Windows 8.1. If it does not then you have a damaged environment.
> I think for now I'll stop worrying about.
I would not do this if I were you. But hey, it's your machine <g>. You
definitely have a problem with your Windows 8.x environment.

See above. You do not have the correct required VC++ 2005 redistributable
installed and it will not install in the future because you have a corrupt
Windows 8.1 install. It's not "only" the registry key. The components are
simply not there in your case.

dunno .... Clarion9 was working well.....
but anyway I managed to make your program happier :
I uninstalled every *2005* redistributable I had ....
And I had *7* 2005 redistributables installed !
At least 4 had been installed by me.... as I told you I found quite
a few VCredist_x86 around.
When finally I managed to get rid of every 2005 remnant, I installed
the package downloaded from your site (thanks for telling me finally
which one is the correct redistributable!).
And after all of this, finally all the required components are marked
with "OK" .
I must add..... for now I don't see the difference..... Clarion9 was
working before, just like is working now..... Time will tell if now
is any better.
Thanks for your time !

If it reports "OK" now then you have the required VC++2005 installed :) and
as a result, the C9 setup will not prompt for it again (the one you
installed is also embedded in the C9 install).

You are welcome.
