I need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 but when I run it, it opens in Chinese even though I selected English. I have tried in three different browsers. When I right click the downloaded file from Microsoft, it says English in the details.

I am not familiar with Microsoft support, and I couldn't find any place to report anything. I am afraid to install it and do any damage. Any suggestions?

It is a problem on Microsoft side, that has been reported, and a fix should be available sooner or later.

Meanwhile, if you have installed the complete Visual Studio 2012 update 4, the redistributable msi that were installed locally are free from this problem, find them in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\1033.

I've put the correct msi (links deleted).

EDIT

The official link is now fixed, download is correct.
