Error installing Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server

I am trying to install ODBC driver 17 for SQL server on Win 2012. Each time I get the below error and the installation quits.

"Microsoft ODBC Driver 2017 for SQL Server: Please install the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable from https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x64.exe".

I have reinstalled Visual C++ and rebooted multiple times. I have checked other issue on this forum and one of the suggested solution is to update OS. I have checked and it has latest patches. Other Win2012 server seem to work as well.

Has anyone come across this before? I appreciate any suggestions.

thanks,
neil.

Hi @NeilParikh-9731,

Did the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable has been installed in your server? Please check this. Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features. If it is existed, please uninstall it. Restart the server.

Did the version of Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server is the latest version 17.7.2? You can get it from here.

Did you try to disable the antivirus software in your server? Then install the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable and install the MS ODBC Driver 17.
