Wireshark has, for a number of releases, required the MS Universal C Runtime (UCRT). This is distributed with Windows 10, but earlier OS's require an update, hence the KB numbers you have shown.

KB2999226 has a lit of separate downloads for various OS's, similarly [KB3118401](https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/3118401/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows] also has a set of downloads.

Have you installing the appropriate KB3118401 update? Did you attempt to install the correct KB2999226 update (x64 or x86) for your VM OS?

Unfortunately without the UCRT Wireshark cannot be installed. You might also note that Win 7 falls out of MS support on the 14th Jan 2020, so you might want to use a newer, supported OS.
