I was upgrading my avg antivirus from 8.5 to the free 9.0 version. I was able to download and save this file to my desktop, but I could not install it due to Error: MSVC Redistributables installation failed. Installation of AVG can not continue. When I checked avg's forum they say this error is due to the fact that I do not have the 2005 version of the security update to microsoft visual c++. I had this problem before and I thought I fixed it. I do have the 2008 update. When I download this 2005 update it takes about 8 minutes and then the download manager stalls on 99% and then it says it is copying and then when I go to my desktop its not there. Now I can not download anything to my desktop. The manage opens and it acts like it is downloading but its not there. Checking windows update the reason for this 2005 security update failing to download is error 643. I've searched the internet but I can find nothing under this error code or in microsoft search. Can someone please help!

Can't you download anything from the web?If it is true your 3p software has locked net or you have infection.Please uninstall all 3p security software if don't resolve problem scan your computer...the best way use any liveCD with antivir i.e http://www.freedrweb.com/livecd/
3p security software -3p firewall,antivirus,antispyware >>please uninstall these soft
For mostly cases unable download anything is caused any issue with 3p security,or too much installed these soft i.e two firewals,two antiviruses,two antispyware.The rule -one firewall,one antivirus,one antispyware.Even if you follow these rules sometimes you may have problem with security soft too.Uninstalling them and next reinstalling them usually solve this problem.You can also try reset IE to defaults:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/114310-internet-explorer-reset.html
Scanning on allive by using installed security software is not fully credible,please note many viruses can hide perfectly before installed security software or sometimes even deactivate them.Using online scanner or tools i.e malwarebytes is more credible but a few viruses can hide before such kind of tool too.Installed security soft is good to prevent infection but not to fight with infection in already infected computer.If the world was as simple as you think that nobody would create unconfortable tools like livecd with antivir.
