Good evening, When I try to install Age of Sail, I'm asked to install VC_redist.x64.exe. After installing it and restarting my computer, the Age of Sail installer seems not to recognize that VC_redist.x64.exe has been installed, so it asks again for VC_redist.x64.exe, every time. I've tried installing equivalent distributables from Microsoft, but AOS does not recognize any of the installations. Please help! Thanks, John
