I have several instances of Microsoft Visual C++ on my HD can be removed?

I do not write programs, etc., and looks like it is what this program.  My computer is a P4 with XP Pro SP3.  I don't know how the Visual C++ happened on my computer in the first place.  I would like to just uninstall in order to recover disk space.  Thank you

I would remove contain not them since the installation of things like the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable run-time library files that some of your installed third-party programs may need and use.

I have it showing upward in Add/Remove programs dating back to 2005.

If you uninstall the redistributable c++, you might start to see errors like these:

This application has failed to start because MSVCRT90.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

This application has failed to start because MSVCP90.dll not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

These DLLs are part of some of the facilities C++ Redistributable, and falls under the influence of Windows side-by-side (SxS) technology (which I'll be happy to explain if you care to know about this).  You may be able to get away with the last and best Redistributable, but who knows what things you have installed and that you need (in addition to you).

When you see these types of messages, this means some program that you use the needs that file to one of the folders that you find in the C:\Windows\WinSxS files that you see on your system (take a look here inside).

If you post here these types of errors, Microsoft support engineers then wrongly suggest you run sfc/scannow, but which won't help since:

a: this isn't sfc/scannow is supposed to do
b. Windows File Protection and CFS don't know or care about SxS files

    Ask yourself what MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430) and MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KD973688) I was able to delete them?

    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.

    Good luck.

    Hi Benny,.

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    CSC.exe is the executable and related to .net framework c# compiler.

    Note: Try the steps only if you are using Internet explorer as your web browser below.

    Method 1: Check if Add-ons on Internet Explore are causing the error. I suggest you try opening Internet Explore mode without modules.

    (a) click the Start button, click all programs , and click Accessories

    (b) click on System Toolsand then click on Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    For more information, see the link below.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-browser-add-ons-affect-my-computer

    Method 2: If the previous step fails then I suggest that you reset browser settings Internet explorer to the default, if you use internet explore as a web browser.

    For more information please visit the link below.

    How to reset Internet Explorer settings

    Important: Reset Internet explore its default configuration. This step will disable also any add-ons, plug-ins or toolbars that are installed. Although this solution is fast, it also means that, if you want to use one of these modules in the future, they must be reinstalled.

    There are many C++ libraries and most of the games that require a special version will install this version.

    The game is still in beta and won't be officially released until 2016, then

  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

    I already have 3 versions of Microsoft visual C++ installed in my computer. Recently, when I installed a program, a new version of Microsoft visual C++ installed. Now I need is no longer this program so I uninstalled. But this new version of Microsoft visual C++ is still present. Should I uninstall or keep? What happens if I uninstall as I have already 3 versions to install other programs. 

    Let them all. I have 20 versions of C++, and while I don't know what software uses a

    particular version (can I even uninstalled the appropriate software), it does not matter as long as

    Versions of C++ do not conflict (it is not an executable, only a runtime library), and they take

    very little space on the disk (less than 100 MB).

    Uninstall a version of C++ and cross your fingers at some point, you get an error message

    that does specify a C++.  Avoid situations and leave all versions of C++.

  • Several Instances ID using unique configuration files?

    I'm working on a project that has two instances of IDS that will essentially exactly the same thing, just triggered in different ways. Given that the two instances of IDS will do exactly the same thing, we thought to use a single file fsiuser/fsisys for both instances. For now, we have set them up separately, but the files are almost identical. My question is, is it a good idea to always have a link to 1:1 to an instance ID to a set of files in the MRL fsiuser/fsisys or is - it normal to have several instances of IDS point to one set of fsiuser/fsisys if the objective of the fsiuser/fsisys is the same thing?

    So, you have on server 1, ID - A, ID - B and ID - C. For clarity, we'll call these facilities. In the terminology of the IDS, an instance is a scalable subprocesses of the IDS. You can configure an installation of start ID IDS multiple instances, which all share the same configuration.

    It sounds like you're just make change transaction ID - B WIP and ID - C, and you mentioned that TEC was in a DB, so I guess that's a real database. If these assumptions are true, then you should be fine to share configurations... but I feel like ID - B and ID - C should be merged in one installation that generates multiple instances to handle the load of transactions. Is there a particular reason that it has been implemented in this way?
