    Found the solution.
    (It seems to be a somewhat common problem, and it affects many different pieces of software).

    1. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/

    2. Install it.
    3. Launch it. Scroll down and select any "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" entries you see (should be only one).
    4. Select it, and remove it using the utility.
    5. Reinstall Bumptop

    Thank you for your response!

    Nope, same thing happened.
    I went to Add/Remove programs, and did find a "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable". But when I tried to remove it, the same thing happened!! (see pic).
    The dialog says what I posted in the first message. "The feature you are trying to use..."

    The funny thing is I don't recall ever installing Visual C++ in this computer. Or maybe it got here with another program?

    Is this then an issue to be taken to other forums?

    Cannot install. Problem with Visual C++ redistributable.
    Every time I try to install Bumptop, I get a dialog box that says
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
    The feature you are trying to use is located in a network resource that is not available.

    Click OK to try again or write in the following textbox an alternate path to a folder that contains the installation package "vcredist.msi"

    Use source:
    [Textbox with Browse button]

    ----------
    Of course if I click on OK it does not work. When I click on Cancel I get the error:
    ----------
    Error 1714. Cannot delete the previous version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. Please contact technical support group.
    [OK]
    -----
    And then:
    -----
    BumpTop.exe - Application error
    Application failed to initialize (0xc0150002). Click OK to close the application.
    ------
    And then Windows reports the application crashed:
