Fixing Max Payne 3 Redistributable installation failures & Error Code "1641"

Last Updated: February 9, 2024

Question: An error message popped up during installation of the required software prerequisites. How can I fix it and play Max Payne 3?

Answer: The Installation will continue but it would be a good idea to manually install the failed redistributable to view the correct output error.

- If an error pops up during the installation stating the manual installation may be required.- The redistributable can be found on disk1 and disk4.

If the installer actually crashes while installing the redistributable, check for an existing "version.dll" in the user's temp directory installed by another product. Delete this file and run Max Payne 3 setup again.

If you receive an error code "1641," .NET 3.5 has successfully installed but did not have access rights to reboot the system. Please restart and run Max Payne 3.
