Windows – Why does Nero 10 Essentials installer not recognize Windows 7 x64

I found this answer on the Relic News forums which basically suggests installing the vcredist file manually:

see the directory path in the error message? its probably because the difference between the temp directory in 7 and XP (i don't know, i'm just gamefreak).

so, in the game folder, open "data" folder, look for the "vcredist.zip" and extract both files in the same folder. after that, double click "vcredist.msi", browse path of the file itself. it will install the software-that-cannot-found-in-temp. after finish, you can continue installing the game.

You can use the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool to obliterate all traces of the .NET Framework from your computer and try installing it again.

This .NET Framework cleanup tool is designed to automatically perform a set of steps to remove selected versions of the .NET Framework from a computer. It will remove files, directories, registry keys and values and Windows Installer product registration information for the .NET Framework. The tool is intended primarily to return your system to a known (relatively clean) state in case you are encountering .NET Framework installation, uninstallation, repair or patching errors so that you can try to install again.

The user's guide carries an important warning:

This tool is designed as a last resort for cases where install, uninstall, repair or patch installation did not succeed for unusual reasons. It is not a substitute for the standard uninstall procedure.
