Visual C++ Redistributable Package vs Redistributable
Hello
For the product we develop, who is now compiled using MSVC 2015, we must provide a way in our Installer to automate the process of installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015.
Now, I have seen that before 2015, I could find no more what we call a redistributable XY or a Redistributable Package XY.
It is not clear to me what's the difference between the two. Could you please explain to me what are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?
Also, is there a plan to provide a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2015? Or is the "Reditributable package" thingy on now?
Thank you.

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.

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

Cannot install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
Hello
I recently installed a game (Grim Dawn) and when I try to run it, I get this message:
"The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. »
After some research, looks like it has something to do with Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 so I went here:
https://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=48145
and tried to download it, but after uploading, click on execute to install it, nothing happens, you see do not just install the progress bar or anything like that.
When I look in my installed programs, I see a lot of Visual C++, but between 2005 and 2012, 2015 No.
No idea why I can't run the installer?
I am running Windows 7 SP 1
Link this is the support forum for the game I'm playing, I said my problem here and some people have tried to help me, maybe the answers he could you guys give some advice

Several facilities of visual c++ redistributable safe uninstall?
Hello, my computer has been slow, and I was remove files and programs to uninstall. When I had a look at uninstalling programs, I found several visual c++ redistributable facilities, which appear as if they were different versions that were not deleted when the update was made.
If I need visual c ++ and visual basic that I use the development tool and use applications that need it, is it safe to uninstall other versions of the redistributable, for example uninstall from 2005 to 2008, to keep only the 2010 versions? Thank you.
Different versions of C++ look like "updates". Versions of C++ are not cumulative.
The software that uses the C++ libraries is often coded check for a specific version of C++, so that your
machine can no longer require a specific C++ because you have uninstalled a software accessible
and you can never have a problem resulting from uninstalling this version, you can also be reached on a day with an obscure error message that neglects to mention C ++ 2008 (x.xx), or one of its component .dll files.
Then you are potentially up for
Some (many?) software that may be developed years still use a C++ version of 08 ' or ' 05 with
updated latest versions of this software.
The good news is that they look a lot like when viewing programs and features, but they use only a little over 100 MB HDD/SSD space. Other than that they are benign, because they do not run as executables and use the cpu or RAM
until this accessible only by the software.
D ' other good news. Reinstalling the software that needs X version will also usually reinstall the required version
c++. Better is to leave without worrying.

stop the automatic installation of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable.
I recently started using a new pc in the office.
and installed MS visual C++ 2008 express on the PC.
but when I try to compile a program, I found a problem.
I checked the "programs and features" in the control panel
There are many redistributable packages VC ++ in the system, IE. VC ++ 2005, 2008, 2010 redistributable...
I try to uninstall all the redistributable packages, just keep the VC ++ 2008 Express and its components.
but when I turned on pc a few days later. all versions of redistributalbes are installed back again. It's really annoying.
is this a way to prevent this auto/silent install these redistributable packages VC ++? because it messes up my programming environment.
Thank you.

Others are installed only if an installed application needs them. Every application needs a specific version.
You aren't the only one with multiple versions (see figure). I do not know Cmake, but is there a way to 'say' it which one to use?
This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

I try to install the 64-bit from the Windows SDK 7.1 compiler. But the installation fails with an error (empty) useless. I tried various fixes suggested in various forums online, but my research suggests that the problem is likely to be the C++ Redistributable package has already installed more recent than the version in the SDK, and he therefore moved not on them. Unfortunately, I can't seem to uninstall the redistributable files: there no option to uninstall them in programs and features, probably because they were put there as part of the installation of another program. But I don't know which and have not been able to understand. I can't just go remove programs at random, so I don't think that kidnapping will work for me.
Is it possible to get the compiler installed without removing the redistributable files? Microsoft plans to release an updated SDK to update anytime soon?For what it's worth, I'm on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 64-bit.Hello
The question you posted would be better suited in the MSDN Forums. I would recommend posting your query in the MSDN Forums for further assistance:
