Can't install visual C++ without SP2...?

[UglyIgloo]

Hi, I recently tried to download Visual C++ 2010, but the installation keeps giving me an error about not having Service Pack 2 Redistributable. I don't know what this is, I don't know why I need it. I didn't need it the last time I installed Visual C++ on this computer.

It's a set of updates for your operating system.

How do I get this set? Every download I try doesn't seem to work.

What version of Windows are you using?

Windows XP Professional 64 Bit.

If this webpage does not work for you, use direct download link:

Of course, you can get SP2 from windows update too.
