Hopefully I'm putting this in the right subforum. I don't believe that a Visual C++ redist failing to install is inherently a Windows Update problem, but the pinned thread here mentioned that SFC threads also belong here, and I think my CheckSUR.log file is particularly interesting in this little problem.
I need to install this version of Visual C++ 2005 on a Windows 7 machine. However, when I run the exe, it prompts me with the EULA first, which I accept, then it briefly runs the "Gathering required information...", then disappears after that. Reading some Microsoft Answers threads lead me to run
When I go to my C:\Windows\winsxs\ folder and search on microsoft.vc80, I find what appear to be a lot of folders for several different builds of Visual C++. All the folders contain 3 DLL's, msvcr80.dll, msvcp80.dll, and msvcm80.dll. Each build number also has a separate folder for a CRT, ATL, MFC, MFCLOC, and OPENMP version of the build. The exception to this pattern being the build number referenced in the log, which I will refer to in shorthand as build 6229. That build version has only one respective folder for a CRT version, and it is empty. The timestamp on the folder corresponds with when I ran the vcredist exe, which leads me to believe that it is the version I am attempting to install.
Let me know if I need to include any additional logs or information on my system. I am trying to run an old 09 game on my machine, but everytime I try to launch it, it throws an error that reads "MSVCP80.dll is missing from your computer." and I've traced it back to this vcredist installer.
Thanks so much!

sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt, as well as DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth, but the last command failed to run with the message "The restorehealth option is not recognized in this context." It was also suggested to try running the redist exe in a clean boot, which didn't work either. At any rate, here's an excerpt from my CheckSUR.log file (I omitted all the lines about the problems it was able to fix, as there were a lot of them):
