Installation inconsistency

Trying to install the Sage 50 for 2015 trial version. Get the message: Sage 50 Accounting requires the following items to be installed on your computer. Click Install to begin installing these requirements.

Requirement: Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86)

When I click Install I get another message: Another version of this product is already installed. To uninstall etc....

I uninstalled the Visual C++ and started over ... The same thing happens.

I have been a user of this product (Bedford Accounting/Simply Accounting/ Sage 50 Accounting) since the days of DOS and have never had a problem installing this product. I only want to install the trial version to see what changes have been made since 2014.

I'm glad I didn't put down 500 bucks to buy it. Any thoughts?
