Hi @Grant,
we use the tobii software since many years an had never issues with the installation process. Except yesterday.
On a completely clean new machine running Windows 10 with all updates. The tobii installation stops at 85% and then rollback everything.
The installer log:

This is strange because we have successfully installed the software hundreds of times. On Windows 7, 8 and 10, if the msvc2015 package would really be missing in the tobii installer, the error would have occurred very often in the past.
We fixed the problem, the same way as we fix the “tracker can no longer be switched off”-bug: Just installing the version 2.10.1.6463_x86. This version of the core software installes without complains.
