Which version of Wireshark are you trying to install? One google search on your text and I got: https://ask.wireshark.org/question/27...

Mostly this issue comes up when systems are too old or are not up to date with MS updates and a pre-requisite is missing.

What the version of Windows and is it up to date with MS updates?

Good evening and thank you for kindly assisting me. I am trying to install Wireshark-4.2.4-x64 on a computer running Windows 11 and up to date.

Are there other applications open that might lock the C++ Redistributable from being update?
In Add/Remove programs, can you click modify on the C++ Redistributable and Repair it?
