runtime error c++ abnormal program termination

hello i'm getting this runtime error when i try to install ffxiv

https://files.catbox.moe/ybp1bg.jpg

things to note:
-i have done the basics (ran the installer as admin... restart comp... etc)
-completely fresh install on this computer (as in it was factory reset just a few hours ago)
-this computer was factory reset as well with only minimum programs i've downloaded on it
that wasn't any different than the programs i had before the factory reset so i'm not sure why it's conflicting
-i also tried to see if installing and updating all my windows updates would help but it didn't
-tried uninstalling all visual c++ runtimes i had (about four or five of them) then resintalling only the latest one

can anyone help?

you did it wrong, you need specific visual c++ runtimes for each program.
you cant just install the newest one, each game may need another version which it was built from.

Visual C++ Runtimes 2005, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017

search on the web maybe you will get an installer for all of them.
