I encountered a problem installing (on windows 7) the SSMS from the Management Studio 2014 Express installer .
The installer is asking me to enter an alternate path for vc_red.msi.
I used the browser and selected the folder were vc_red.msi is actually located but it says it is not a valid installation package for the product Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 redistributable - 10.0.40219
I was trying to follow the solution from a similar post, but had no success.

I went to the registry and could not find a reference to VC_RED.MSI that had a network path. The entries I found had empty info.
I installed SP1 for Visual Studio 10 too and made no difference.
Please help.
