Conflict between wireshark vc++ redistro and an older redistro

Hi there, i have a problem that i'm doing my best to understand so i can find a more permanent solution:

I have software that requires the vc++ redistributable 2015 x86 package. When this is installed first, every attempt to install wireshark fails with error 9, and a look at the logs shows it wants to install an x64 version of a later vc++ redistrituable, but cannot.

When i reverse the order, everything is fine, but i really need to understand why this happens. Anyone have any similar experience or ideas?

I've been through microsoft's forums a few times with little luck so i'm hoping someone here may have some understanding. Thanks!
