Answer 1

I had this error before all I did was(using Win10 x64):

Go to control panel-> Select Programs -> Programs and Features -> Search "c++" -> In the list select Visual C++ 2017(or your version error) Redistributable -> right click select "change" -> select repair.

After that I was able to continue and successfully installed SQL Server Express 2017.

Note: Some requires uninstall and reinstall again therefore if the above procedure doesn't work just try reinstalling it.
