install of microsoft-windows-terminal was NOT successful because lack of Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop

Problem:

When install Microsoft Windows Terminal (or other software), the installation fails because VCLibs cannot be found.

It is becasue C++ Runtime framework packages for Desktop Bridge is missing.  It is because the Windows 10 is LTSC version which Microsoft Store is not present, and Microsoft Windows Terminal is a Windows Store Apps.


Solution:

Install VCLib manually.

  1. Download VCLib
    1. Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx
    2. Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Desktop.appx

  2. Open PowerShell with Administrator rights

  3. Run below command
    1. PS C:\Windows\system32> Add-AppxPackage C:\Users\UserName\Downloads\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Desktop.appx
    2. PS C:\Windows\system32> Add-AppxPackage C:\Users\UserName\Downloads\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx
