Cause: This is a bug in the Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
Solution 1:
Disable the antivirus program on the system. A user reported disabling AVG made Rhino installation work.

Try to install several times. A user reported Rhino installation succeeded when the third time he tried to install Rhino. He didn't do anything to the system.
Solution 3:
If you can't enable this feature, or if the Windows Features dialog box appears and is empty, then your installation of Windows is corrupt and needs repaired. Please contact Microsoft Support for more help.
More details: People who get this error while installing Rhino are also unable to install the Microsoft C++ 2005 Redistributable Package directly from Microsoft. This is a problem with Windows and the Microsoft Redistributable Package, not with Rhino's installer.
Cause: The update installer doesn't have enough permission privileges.
