Can't install Eraser..

[c0dehunter]

Hello everyone,

After formating my computer I installed XP SP3. Then I downloaded all programes I had before, including Eraser. I downloaded the latest stable version. However, I can't install it because i get an error:

Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime 8.0 Service Pack 1 Could not be installed. Please use windows update to manually install this update on your system. Eraser setup cannot continue.

So, I went to download http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&displaylang=en - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

This didn't fix the problem. So then I let my computer to automatically download all updates, which it did (Except a few updates, like one for IE8). Still, problem isn't solved.

So what should I do, because Eraser is a really valuable tool without which I can't operate..

Thanks :mrgreen:

It should install. If it doesn't try 5.8.7 beta5 (see the updates forum.)
