How to Fix CATIA VC11 Runtime Installation Error

Problem

When users download the CATIA V5 installation files via the DS Software Download Page or are delivered the files via media order, they come as a series of zip files. Some of those zip files contain multiple volumes of the installation information. 

For example, CATIA V5 is downloaded in two zip files, "Part 1 of 2" and "Part 2 of 2". These need to be unzipped to a common location, rather than unzipped individually. If the file sets are not unzipped correctly, the Runtime Error may appear: "setup: Problem with VC11 Runtime installation. Try to launch “DSYAdminVC11PreReg.exe -install -v from an elevated command window. If it fails, contact your customer service".

Solution 

  1. Place both packages in the same local folder
  2. Create a new folder in this directory and name it “CATIA Install Files
  3. Right-click package "1-2" and select “Extract All” and extract to the newly created folder “CATIA Install Files”. 
  4. Repeat step 3 for the extraction of package "2-2"

    Right-click the numbered folders and extract them into the Catia Install Files Folder
    Extract files into the Catia Install Files Folder
  5. When executed correctly, there will be a single folder located in the “CATIA Install Files” folder labeled “CATIA_PLM_Express.win_b64”.
  6. Then attempt to install CATIA again
