Ran the launcher this morning to install the update and got this error

(Both errors included on the same image to reduce space.)
Followed ALL the instructions in this link;
https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42737/

However after removing and trying to reinstall the vcredist_x64_2015.exe file I cannot as a newer version of the file is already installed.

Do I remove the 2017 version and risk preventing some other programme on my computer from running or is only ESO using this?

    In the thread linked below are some solutions to stop the vcredist_x64_2015 error from popping up.

    vc redist x64

    Please let us know if that allows you to install the update.

    Thanks @ZOS_BillE

    Looking into that thread now and applying some 'work-arounds' to see if they work.

    UPDATE:

    I uninstalled the offending file and the 2017 version I also had, reinstalled the 2015 version and there was no change when I started the launcher.

    I installed the 2015-2019 redistributable and still no change.

    The launcher IS updating the game so I can still play. At this stage I will just accept that there is a problem but it is not game ending. Well, not currently anyway.

    NOTE: There was also no solution to this problem even on the Microsoft Visual Studio help forum, even though it was assessed. it seems to be a problem with STEAM users, which I am unfortunately.

    [EDITED for clarity]
