Visual Studio update

Today (Tuesday) that appeared:

Visual Studio 2005
A security update for Microsoft C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package (KB973923)

However, I don't have Visual Studio 2005 installed. In fact, I don't have any Visual Studio product installed. So why am I being asked to install a patch for it?

Thank you
Shane. Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18783

CShane

Yes, these are the types of applications that would have the redistributable versions of Visual Studio.
I couldn't tell you if it is included in one or both without out and examine really these two particular applications.

We have issued a security patch today (Tuesday 7/28) updated to Visual Studio and Internet Explorer.

This is the update that you are offered.

I hope this helps to explain why you were offered something that first glance, seemed to be something that did not apply.

Please let me know if you have any other questions

    Hi, Frank C.

    Visual studio updates will be offered if you have visual studio installed on the computer.

    First of all, I'd say you check in the programs and features to see if visual studio or visual C++ is installed on the computer.

    (a) by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking programs and features, open programs and features.

    These services are offered through optional updates in Windows update.

    If you do not either of the program installed on the computer, or you don't want these updates, you can hide it on windows update so that it is not available again.

    (a) open Windows Update by clicking Start , all programsand then click Windows Update.

    (b) in the left pane, click check for updates , and then, when Windows finds updates for your computer, click view available updates.

    (c) with the right button the update, you do not want to install, and then click hide update. The next time you check the updates, the update will not be automatically selected or installed. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Visual Studio community 2015 fails to update to the latest Version

    I had this problem for awhile now. My OS is Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview (1511, build 10586.36). I have Visual Studio installed 2015 community.

    When open the menu Extensions and updates, I see two product updates - Application Insight Tools for Visual Studio and Visual Studio 2015 update 1. I tried to install them for several weeks without success. What is happening is that the installation program starts, I see several options of what it must be installed, select what I need and then configure immediately goes to Visual Studio preparation and after one minute it says all updates have been installed. When you open Visual Studio, however, there is no change.

    When you try to update the previews of the Application, the installation will start immediately and trying to update Visual Studio a .exe is downloaded beforehand. Both methods produce the same result. I tried to check the different boxes in the configuration, including checking them, no difference at all.

    An internet search gave no results, so it seems that very few people, if any, to deal with this problem, so I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help is welcome.

  • Visual Studio 2010 Express hangs after Windows Update

    June 11, 2010, I have 19 updates from Windows Update for my Windows XP Home SP3 Swedish (exceptionally many using the computer every day). After I rebooted, Visual Studio 2010 Express crashed at startup saying "(défini par l'utilisateur point d'arrêt-un point d'arrêt dans une application indique erreur de programme)." Re - installation of VS) did not help. Being run/scannow CFS does not report a problem any. Run the program in WinDbg, the program stops at a breakpoint in ntdll.dll. However, if I then go into the debugger program seems to operate normally. Also authorized the virus program Norton Internet Security (NIS) fails on startup with breakpoint in ntdll.dll. This should indicate that there was a problem with ntdll.dll, but all the tests that I ran to the DLL files are all problems. Other programs on the computer seem to work normally, including AVG 9.0 free virus checker, I installed to compensate for the NIS. NIS experts spent several hours in my computer without finding the reason. All clever out there who can help me?

    The problem is solved!

    I run the SDK Direct-X (latest version) in Debug mode and when I changed the retail fashion problems disappeared. Since there is no problem with Debug mode, before the updates of Windows, I guess that these updates were not compatible with debugging DLLs in the SDK. MS has probably forgotten to test in Debug mode or something. Instead however, annoying because the Debug mode is useful during the development of applications of DX.
