Windows 8.1 won't install Visual C++ redistributable

So yeah it took me years, but I just finally updated to windows 8.1 and got everything set up with classic shell, which made it actually feel good to me.  Now I go to dolphin and it won't start because it's missing a visual runtime .dll.  Go download the vcredist executable, and it won't install.  Found a bunch of online posts from people with the same problem and no real solution.  Windows update packages that they point to as a possible solution will not install either because they are "not applicable to this computer".  I know a lot of you have been running windows 8/8.1 for a long time, has anyone else ran into this?

I had this exact issue a week ago. The update that will allow the visual studio 2015 run times to install was under the optional updates, not recommended. Just install every update that it finds then try again, it will install.

yeah i finally just got every update thinking that maybe that would allow it to install, sure did. what a lame issue to have. but we're back in action now! phew. I was sweating there for a minute trying to imagine a world without dolphin lol.
