    I have a new installation of 8.1 on a clean drive.

    there is a particular piece of development software I use from QSC-Qsys Designer 3.whatever that requires C++ 10 to run however I cannot seem to find an installer for it anywhere I search on the Microsoft site. I welcome any and all assistance as I need to run that specific software for work.

    Milos,

    thanks, I think...

    the quandary here is that I know that an associate of mine has installed the QSC software on 8.1 and has had no issue with C++ installation.

    in talking with him it seems the installation dialog that searches out C++ has succeeded , or why I am inquiring here about my difficulty.

    might there be a work around, I would hate to have purchased 8.1 only to use it as a coaster...

    thx

    Hi,

    Milos is right. In addition, you may try the method below as a workaround.

    Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
