VC Redistributable ConfigMgr installation cannot be completed.

In trying to upgrade System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to SP2 using the upgrade package, I received the following:

Fatal errorConfiguration Manager cannot continue because of the following error: Setup could not install the required component, VC Redistributable ConfigMgr installation cannot be completed.

After looking at the blog , I looked at the SCCM setup log.

My problem resulted in the fact that the vcredist_x86.exe file was already in the temp folder and would not overwrite it. I renamed/deleted the file in the temp folder and "viola", the SP2 upgrade ran without errors.

Advice: check the log, and clear out your temp directories. Hope this helps.
