Problems with DCS WORLD!! (digital combat simulator)

I recently downloaded the free base back of the dcs series and installed it but during the end of installation process it gave me a error saying i have a newer version of microsoft c++ redistributable and cannot play it. When i get to main screen it works but then i click on going in game, it crashes and send me to the desktop. Is there any way to beat around that without having to swap to an older version of c++ ?? :-/
