Thanks Sascha! So far we had 40 users with vcredist_x86.exe install problem. All Windows 7 but not only 64 bit. It is interesting, but not yet enlightening to me, how some issues got solved. Quite a few users run vcredist_x86.exe manually, with full UI. Normally it is run silently by our setup chainer. Several users could install after following a rather strange suggestion that I found googling: make user the owner of Components Registry hive.
