What I tried:

Downloaded update package from here but getting an error while installing:

This update is not applicable for your computer

Installed Updates (Screenshot):

What could the reason behind this?

I really new to this kind of stuff, please help!

There are two likely reasons why [KB2999226](https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows) isn't applicable: either it is already installed, or your machine is too out of date to install it. Start by checking the "installed updates" in Programs and Features. Checking Windows Update might also be helpful. — Harry Johnston, Nov 28 '19 at 18:25
@HarryJohnston The windows update is already done and as per list its showing latest `KB2975061` — Prashant Pimpale, Nov 28 '19 at 18:38
I am using license product key, is that will be a problem? I am really new to this, please help! — Prashant Pimpale, Nov 28 '19 at 18:42
@HarryJohnston Have edited question with Installed Updates SS please check and guide! — Prashant Pimpale, Nov 28 '19 at 18:46
Is your .MSI the x86 version ? as 2012-r2 need an 64 bit version. (Your error log show the x86 filename) — yagmoth555, Nov 28 '19 at 18:46
@yagmoth555-GoFundMeMonica Yes I tried with both in - for x86 showing system compatability error and x64 shows `This update is not applicable for your computer` — Prashant Pimpale, Nov 28 '19 at 18:48
@yagmoth555-GoFundMeMonica Check the updated logs - its getting when I installing MS C++ redistribuable 2015 on my Windows Server 2012 R2 — Prashant Pimpale, Nov 28 '19 at 18:53
The screenshot isn't much help because it only shows part of the list. Is KB4525243 on the list? When you do a Windows Update scan does it offer any additional updates? — Harry Johnston, Nov 28 '19 at 20:26
@HarryJohnston You are genius! Just restarted server -> Check for updates -> Its showed me one important update -> Updated and `vc_redist.x64` successfully installed -> Then workbench is also installed n happy to see database live. — Prashant Pimpale, Dec 01 '19 at 12:17

There are various reasons why you might get the this update is not applicable for your computer message.

The update is mismatched to the version of Windows or the computer architecture, e.g., attempting to install a Windows 7 update on Windows 10 or a 32-bit update on 64-bit Windows. Check this first, because it is easy.
The update is already installed, or a later update that supersedes the update is installed.
You don't have the indicated prerequisites; or
Your machine is too out of date.

Those last two are the same thing really, but sometimes the prerequisites for an update aren't explicitly listed or when you try to install them you run into the same problem again; if there is a tree of prerequisites it can be a lot of work to get them all installed by hand. So, unless you are trying to do an offline update, it is usually preferable to bring your machine completely up to date with Windows Update before doing any further troubleshooting.

To make sure of this, run a Windows Update scan, even if the Windows Update control panel tells you you are up to date, and install any updates offered. Reboot and repeat. Note that after updates are installed, the Windows Update client will not always show you all of the follow-up updates that may now be applicable, that's why you need to explicitly ask it to do a scan.
