So I'm trying to install microsoft visual studio 2015 community on my windows 8 pc but the installer keeps stopping and claiming that the 2013 redistributable cannot be found. I know it is installed. One of the options is to specify a file path to the redistributable. So I'm wondering where it is exactly I can find these files on my computer? Thanks for any help.

The easiest way to locate the redistributable files is by using environment variables set in a developer command prompt. In Visual Studio 2022, the redistributable files are in the %VCINSTALLDIR%Redist\MSVC\v143 folder.
For Microsoft C++, the path should look something like this, depending on which specific version you have installed: "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/BuildTools/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe".
To check if Visual C++ redistributables are installed, open Add and Remove Programs and look for the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. If installed, you see "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.22.
By default, VS Code is installed under C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code .
For those of you who are having this same issue I ended up getting the answer. As of right now, Sept. 9th 2015, the official answer from Microsoft support is:
"The problem is related to the use of Visual Studio web-installer. It will download C++ package from website, but the link of C++ package seems broken.
The temporary solution is to download the full ISO format and use it to install. You can download the ISO from official site and verify the checksum:https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2015-iso-sha1-vs.aspx"
So there you have it. Download the ISO version of the program which can also be found on the main download page for visual studio.
