mfc45.dll in C++ Redistributable package
Re: XP SP3 and Vista SP2 and the file mfc45.dll Machines
Recently, Hitman Pro 3.5.8 121 Bld stopped download mfc45.dll to the cloud for inspection, as it did for a year under XP SP3.
My inspection of the property sheet for the file not revealed any info about it, except that it is 74 703 bytes and created on 09/21/2009.
Lowered numbered MFCxx.dll files show the detailed MS waited, including version info.
The mfc45.dll file is displayed, as I expect malware to appear.
However, he spent a lot of screens AV, including Viruscan.Jotti.org & VirusTotal, including the free avast, uptodate.
That an antivirus scanner indicates that it is a 'broken W32 file.
My Vista 32 bit SP2 machine has what seems to be the same file with 74 703 bytes, created 11/21/2010, a few months after, after that I started the machine.
A lot of Internet searches gave little info useful re: mfc45.dll, just many links to sites wishing to DL a scanner ActiveX to "clean the registry.
Seems to be 'drive-by' vectors infectious for me!
Why isn't easy to check a file Microsoft allegedly from a C++ package?
Why is there a list of the files that are included as well as their versions for each package for comparison?
Why are there not a simple tool to analyze and identify what C++ Redistributable packages are installed and their version numbers?
Why are they not C++ files in a separate folder under System32 for easy review?
What is a security requirement?
More importantly, how positively verify that my mfc45.dll, on each machine, is not malware?
Jack E Martinelli former MS MVP 2001-06 END
... Hitman has been download mfc45.dll to its cloud at least a year until a few weeks ago. Now, the download attempt fails.
I scanned the machine and the file mfc45.dll specifically with VirusTotal and Viruscan.Jotti.org and lots of other tools, including msert.exe, the Scanner of Ms. Nothing has ever reported a malicious software.
Then, I don't worry on that point, Jack (links in reference [1] in my previous answer notwithstanding).
As would be the case, there was a recent discussion on Hitman in a MVP Security mailing list. The general opinion was that he had done his time. And I think that someone said he had not been updated or supported for some time. YMMV.
Moving...
Yes, in response to your message in a previous discussion (which does NOT appear in your profile for a reason sheet any unfathomable) I said it would be OK to hide KB2416447 (MS10-070 for .NET 1.1 SP1) or KB2416472 (MS10-070 for .NET 4.0) under very certain & specificities.
I also said that I would usually NEVER give out that they do not need to install a critical security update.
Chances are you don't need .NET Framework 4.0 and it is installed only because you have installed an optional, a security update no end of June 2010 (probably KB982670).
Because the computer has been updated to Security KB2446708, .NET 4.0 must always be installed just so uninstall it and "stop the madness" (i.e., available UPDATES for .NET 4.0).
PS: Yes, attempt to analyze the update of the list in Add/Remove programs can be time consuming. At least, they are listed in descending (date) (as is the history of update Vista & Win7, but at least it is available).

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages do not install correctly.
I recently built a low buget of range, PC game for my sister, so she can play games like the Sims 4.
After you install a copy of Windows and the drivers, I have installed some games and programs she wanted.
Most of the program works correctly, but the Sims 4 does not work. It gives the error of "msvcr100.dll is not found, re-installing the application may fix this problem". I think that means that Visual C++ Redistributable is not installed, but all the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages 2005-2015 (32 and 64 bit) are installed.
I tried to reinstall the packages, they did successfully,
I tried to reinstall the game,
I tried to run the packages again, and they said they were already installed on the system,
I tried to use Windows update,
but none of these methods worked.
Specifications of the PC are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E85004 GB RAM DDR3
GeForce GT 240 (1 GB GDDR5)
Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
HARD DRIVE 320 GB

I try to install the update of security for Microsoft visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (KB973924) via windows update and get error 643.
I ran the troubleshooting tool, but as usual, it does not solve anything (couldn't even understand something was wrong).
I've tried searching for an answer but apparently 'error 643' is given for shit close to everything and I was unable to find a solution for my problem.
the computer is running Windows 7 32 bit. This problem also prevents Windows Essentials 2011 and I think that the issue is also what keeps me to install "Visual C++ Runtime for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9.0", which gives me Error 1935. I didn't chance to find a solution so that the error code is.
Please help - thanks

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.

Using Win XP Service Pack 3. While trying to install a 3rd package of the party that informed me that MS Visual C++ was either absent or damaged. So I downloaded vcredist_x86.exe. When I tried to open it, Windows Installer came and demanded that I insert a CD for the file that Win Installer, should be in the format of .msi file when you locate the file.
How can I bypass Win Installer or how Win Installer stop demanding leader .msi format when the file format is .exe. If not, how can I get the self-extracting vcredist_x86.exe program without using Win Installer?
Thank you.
