Do I need a bunch of different versions of microsoft visual c ++?

My computer has a bunch of different versions of Microsoft Visual C++

I have 2 dated 2005, 2008 dated of 3, 1 dated 2010 and 2012 dated the 1.

My understanding is that I would need only the latest version (2012), but I want to make sure before I uninstall the other.

I know I could probably let them such that they cause any conflictions or anything, but I'm very short on space and would like to clear some. (I am running Windows 8 Pro on a Tablet Atom of power with 64 GB of storage, expansion is not an option without decreasing portability or an expensive solution).

I have most of my files on skydrive storage, most of my space is taken up with the programs I need.

If I uninstall 6 earlier versions of Microsoft Visual C++ without loss of functionality that would clear up some space.

Thank you for your support.

Hello

Hello

Do not uninstall one of these different versions of Visual C++.

When a developer creates a software, they use the files from the current or a previous version of the Visual C++ runtime files. These versions are installed by the software program and must be present on the computer for this software to work correctly.

When Windows Update checks your system for available updates, it detects these older versions are present and if an update is available for these older versions, it will be installed.

Deleting one of these versions may cause some programs to stop working.

If you look at the size of these files, they are very small.

    Hello Angelz,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    The error you get can be caused by components from Visual C++ Runtime libraries that are missing or get conflicted, perhaps due to a third party software or badly configured registry settings.

    So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists:

    Method 1:

    a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Properties.

    b. in the name computer, domain, and workgroup settings , click change settings.

    (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.)

    c. click change settings , and then select the Advanced tab click the environment variables button.

    d. the user variables area, click on TEMPand then click change.

    e. in the Variable value box, type C:\Temp, and then click OK twice.

    f. click applyand then click OK.

    g. follow steps 4 to 6 for the variable of environment TMP as well.

    h. confirm this folder C:\Temp exist, otherwise create a.

    i. restart the computer.

    j. attempt to install the application again.

    If the steps do not help, try the next method.

    Method 2:

    If you are comfortable in changing some registry settings, then follow the steps provided below.

    1. Click Start and type run in start search box, and then press enter.
    2. Type regedit and click OK.

  • Installation of an earlier Version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005

    I am getting SideBySide errors in the event log when you run an earlier version of Office. This is one of the errors:

    Solves the that partial assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC. Reference error message: the referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

    I studied the mistakes and I think that the solution is to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. I'm afraid I already 2008 and 2010 is installed on my system and install the old version may conflict with these versions.

    Is it safe to install the old version?

    I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Each software package requires C++ is designed for a particular version of this.  You can have several copies of C++ on your system because only this application that needs a version "will call" for her other applications using the other version can run at the same time

    I have 6 versions of C++ on my system without conflicts, but my system is winning 8.

  • I need to run two different versions of Firefox

    I'm currently crashing problems with Firefox 26 on openSUSE 13.1.
    25 Firefox works perfectly well. There's two versions of openSUSE rest. I suspect an add-on.
    To debug this I need to run both, one to report the bug and make my day job and one to test the bug.
    I saw the other similar thread, but I'm not sure that the subject is the same.
    I downloaded the last FF since the mozilla site and copied the folder ~ / Documents.
    But when I run "~/documents/firefox/firefox--non-reculees - p", choose a new profile, I always get firefox 25, the installed version, not Firefox 26, donwloaded version.

    If I add the troubleshooting information, the message is refused (too long)

  • Have just been told by BT that I need a new/different version of Thunderbird to work with the new system BTMail (previously BTYahooMail) - I do?

    I have btinternet email for years and Thunderbird for too long and have been happy with both. Unfortunately, I'm not technical enough to understand the majority of assistance or instructions on the information pages of support technique/Thunderbird, but haven't managed to get TB put in place in the first place (long time) and it seems to have worked well since. However, on Friday both of my accounts to BT (sets of two numbers), so two BT email addresses have been moved new old BT Yahoo mail BT mail. I was unable to connect to one of them, but the other was very good - I have had help 'screen sharing' a technical chap BT to sort. However, he was able to Conect Thunderbird with email servers. I said to BT and the chap tech tried to sort on screen sharing, but could not (and I have been unable to follow what he was doing). A few months ago, I made a few changes, as requested by BT, to allow for the transfer to go smoothly (!), but the man has changed some things Friday, I think, as well. He could not solve the problem of TB and I can't figure it out at all, and the Lady of BT Tech help to whom I spoke this morning (and who had managed to fix my problem of connection BTID, fortunately) had a look and suggested that maybe I needed an update/new/different version TB or 'another email address. Well, I really want to stay with Thunderbird and was hoping that someone here could explain it in simple English for me, please? I was wondering what will happen, assuming that I need to download an updated version / different, if I did this and then sort of re-installed my existing BT email addresses (as if I started again with Thunderbird)? I hope that there is someone here who can help you - thank you - I'm rather fond of this little blue bird. Thank you.

    Hi, Zenos, thank you so much for your help - I have now (touch wood) have my email back after following your instructions. If all goes well, it will remain in operation during my upgrade to infinity next week.

  • You will need to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package to install the earlier version to Fix - It Professional 12.

    Original title: problems with Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x 86)

    I try to install the Fix - It Professional 12 by Avanquest on my Windows XP machine.

    When installing, I get a message that says Microsoft C++ Visial Resditributable package (x 86) must be installed.

    When I click to try installing the Avanquest Software, it fails.

    If I go on the Microsoft Web site to try to downlad there from there, he fails again and I like that it's because I already have a newer version on my machine.

    Technical support Avanquest says that their software requires the old version.

    Is there a risk involved with uninstall what is on my machine and allowing the Avanquest software to install the version needed?

    If this is not the case, how does it do this so the rest of the installation of the software can continue?

    Thank you!

    Hi Jim,.

    What version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package is required by the software?

    You can uninstall the version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable in the computer and install the older version required by Avanquest software.

    Do not delete one of them.  They are there for a reason.  The amount of space, you can free up is negligible anyway.  When you can buy a 1.5 TB for $90 hard drive, it's a waste of time and effort to worry about a few megabytes.  And if you delete something you need, the consequences can be disastrous.

    By the way 1 TB = 1 000 000 megabytes.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x 86) and other versions hold 4 GB of space

    Running Windows 7 Home edition (Spanish version)

    While trying to find space on my portable hard drive, I noticed that there are 8 versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x 86) on my machine. That's a total of more than 4 gigabytes of space. Is there a version that will cover all these? or can I just delete some of them?

    Original title: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x 86)

    I think you read the amount of space used for the wrong purposes.

    I have 19 installs C++ ("2005 - 08-10 & 12") that accumulate to about 86MB total (64 bit Win7).

    Adults are between 11-15 MB each.

    I have not been informed to the contrary and assume that newer versions of C++ are not cumulative.

    You will notice that everyone installs it different is a different version, and I expect the software

    who installed will seek this particular version.

    While I would probably uninstall all additional versions if I had the confirmation that the two

    versions 2012 (x 86 & x 64) have been combined, they don't take up much room, so I can't be bothered

    experimentation to uninstall and reinstall again if a software that I do not often do not load.

    in particular, because he cannot throw an error that specifies c++, this could lead to much .

    BTW - just to get the right terminology. Software is uninstalled. Files are deleted.

    While the software can be removed, doing so can cause problems both with to remove the title of

    Programs and features, leaving the back files (which can happen when you uninstall anyway),

    and leaving the registry entries.

    -If your laptop HDD/SSD is short on space, you will very likely move the files to an external HARD drive, or get a bigger HDD.

    Music, video are joint space pigs, followed by photos. Most of the software don't take up much space,

    but uninstall the "bloatware" that comes with many laptops may help some.

    If you have any games, they can use a lot of space.

    Note also that an SSD will last longer if you leave 25% of free space. HARD drives require 15% free space to

    the defragmentation. If you have a HARD drive and not of defraged for a long time you can find a part

    space and increase performance of defraging (which can be very time consuming if not done regularly).
