I am trying to install from vc_redist.x64.ext on a Windows 10 (32-bit) computer. When I do so, I run into this error: 0x81f40001 - Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) can only be installed on a Windows XP SP1 (x64) and newer platforms. However, when I try to install from vc_redist.x84.exe, it works. Unfortunately I need x64 for a program that I am trying to run that I cannot edit. Is there any way around this error?
