Thank you for the quick fix, dstftw! Do I assume it is OK to install and use in an updated, 64-bit W10 Pro?

Thank you, Vangelis66. I didn't want to break my new W10! :)

Visual C++ Redistributable is required by programs and games created in Microsoft Visual Studio (VC++ IDE). Visual C++ redistributables work as common system DLLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) and can be called by any program.

If you are in a hurry and want to install the latest Visual C++ runtimes, you can go directly to the latest download links here.

What is Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable?

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is a runtime library for running applications that Microsoft developers develop in Visual C++ language (Using the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment).

There are many Microsoft Redistributable packages installed on your system. You can view them by going to the Control Panel/Programs/Apps and Features. And in the list of installed programs, you will see that there is more than one package of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

VC++ Redistributable is just like Java Runtime Environment and .NET Framework. You need to install JRE to run programs developed in Java and .NET Framework to run apps built with .NET Framework.

When you create certain Apps or Programs using Visual C++, the Redistributable packages are installed automatically. Some developers pre-package the runtime libraries inside their software setups. Or you can download them manually. I am providing you with the Links to download the Redistributable packages.

If you are using the same version of Microsoft Visual C++ to create multiple apps, then all the apps created with the same version of Microsoft Visual C++ needs one Redistributable package for all.

When you need Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

If you have any software or program that needs the Visual C++ Redistributable, then you need them otherwise, there isn’t any use of the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable.

These packages are not so heavy on your System Resources, so the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable won’t take much space on your System.

All in One Visual C++ Installers

If you are not comfortable to install Visual C++ redistributables one by one and want to install all of them, you should try out all in one Visual C++ installers. Here we list the best ones:

Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One

Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One comes as a zip file with all versions of VC++ included and a simple batch file. Download it from the link below, unzip to a folder and run install_all.bat. This will install all the redistributables from version 2005 to 2019.

All the installs are silent and do not require user intervention. The script does not restart Windows by itself. You’ll need to restart the computer once the installation is done.

Visual C++ Runtime Installer (All-In-One) v56

Visual C++ Runtime Installer (All-In-One) is a single executable that includes all Visual C++ libraries built-in.

Installation

Download and install any Visual C++ redistributable runtime library package that is easy. It’s like downloading the setup from below given the direct download links and then running the installer. Every installation step is self-explanatory. You can have multiple redistributable runtime packages installed on your computer.

Silent Installation

You can also install Visual C++ redistributable in silent mode. The installer comes with a /q switch that can be used to run the VC++ installer in silent mode.

There are two ways to run the installer with /q switch. One is to create a shortcut of the downloaded setup file and append /q /norestart at the end of the target field in shortcut properties.

The second way is to run the installer from the command-line. Here is an example of how I ran the installer in quiet mode:

C:\Users\Usman\Downloads\vc_redist.x64.exe /q /norestart

Uninstall the Visual C++ packages

The Uninstallation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages is the same as you do with any other program. You can uninstall the packages from Programs and Features. To uninstall the package, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Apps and Features (Windows key + X + F) [Programs and Features in Windows 7]

Installed Visual C package

You may want to ask is it OK to uninstall any Visual C++ package? My answer is simple; uninstall it if it is necessary. Otherwise, leave it as multiple versions do not take up a lot of disk space and only provide additional functionality when needed.

Can’t install Visual C++ Redistributable?

If you get the following error while running vc_redist.x64.exe or vc_redist.x86.exe, it means that you already have an installation of VC++ pending on your computer. Please remove the current installation to proceed with the new install.

Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Setup Failed 0x80070666

To get past this error, follow the instructions below:

  • Download Visual C++ redistributable again.
  • Open Command Prompt.
  • Change the directory to the one which has vc_redist.x64.exe file. For example, I downloaded it in my Downloads folder.
    cd C:\Users\Usman\Downloads\
  • Then, run the uninstaller:
    vc_redist.x64.exe /uninstall
