Thanks David.

I actually installed MediaPortal in the meantime, which automatically installed that very package and after that I installed Avast again and it’s all working now :slight_smile:

I think it only installed the x86 version though, as the Requirements page states http://www.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal/requirements

“Note: Using MP 1.0.0 or above the installer will automatically install latest Visual C++ Redistributable Package if necessary.
Note: If the component is downloaded and installed manually, be sure to use the x86 package even on x64 systems.”

but that seems to be sufficient for Avast at least.
