Reza_Ameri-Archived   Thank you very much for your suggestion. I'm afraid it didn't work. 

 

Funny stuff is that the VB6 redistributable is not the only one that is failing. Also, the mdac distributable is failing too. These two are Microsoft's applications. 

 

It's like they don't like the string with the new version of windows (some installers check if the version of windows is supported by querying the version as a string).

 

I'm going to try the VC++ redistributable, in particular regarding the MFC support. Let's see if that installs what 20H2 is missing.
