Redist Windows 10

[Renita Lukins]

TheVisual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries. Many applications built using Microsoft C and C++ tools require these libraries. If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app's target architecture. The Redistributable version must be at least as recent as the MSVC build toolset used to build your app. We recommend you use the latest Redistributable available for your version of Visual Studio, with some exceptions noted later in this article.

Unlike older versions of Visual Studio, which have infrequent redist updates, the version number isn't listed in the following table for Visual Studio 2015-2022 because the redist is updated frequently. To find the version number of the latest redist, download the redist you're interested in using one of the following links. Then, look at its properties using Windows File Explorer. In the Details pane, the File version contains the version of the redist.

Some of the downloads that are mentioned in this article are currently available on my.visualstudio.com. Log in using a Visual Studio Subscription account so that you can access the download links. If you're asked for credentials, use your existing Visual Studio subscription account. Or, create a free account by choosing the No account? Create one! link.

Visual Studio versions since Visual Studio 2015 share the same Redistributable files. For example, any apps built by the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022 toolsets can use the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. However, the version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installed on the machine must be the same or higher than the version of the Visual C++ toolset used to create your application. For more information about which version of the Redistributable to install, see Determining which DLLs to redistribute. For more information about binary compatibility, see C++ binary compatibility between Visual Studio versions.

Per se not a problem, but more a "wonder why". Many programs require the use of Visual C++ redistributable. But this is something that HAS to be installed separately. Every single time. Of course I can include the installer in my installers and execute silently.

But - do anyone know the reason why Microsoft Windows, even the latest versions, do not include VC++ as a feature that's just installed as part of the update program ? Given that Microsoft is behind both.

The C++ or any other language redistributable is more associated with a software developer's development environment (e.g. specific version of Visual Studio used to develop and build the executables) than the OS.

It's possible to use environments other than Visual Studio to develop Windows software so that's probably why it's not included--Microsoft is making that the developer's responsibility to get right (which they don't always do) rather than themselves.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is an installer for Microsoft C and C++ runtime libraries. Many apps, programs, and games created using these two languages require the installation of these libraries to function correctly. The Visual C++ architecture installed must match the application's architecture to be run.

Sometimes, when installing a very recent game, it may not work. Most games usually include several additional installation packages, but sometimes they don't. When you download them from gaming platforms such as Steam, these redistributables are usually automatically installed on your computer.

If you've had Windows installed on your computer for several years, you will likely see redistributables installed from different years and versions, such as 2010, 2013, 2015, and 2022. This is because there are programs designed to work with a specific version of these libraries. Here at Uptodown, we offer downloads for the latest available versions for both 32- and 64-bit, taking into account that many are no longer supported.

Uptodown is a multi-platform app store specialized in Android. Our goal is to provide free and open access to a large catalog of apps without restrictions, while providing a legal distribution platform accessible from any browser, and also through its official native app.

Apologies. My bad. Due to the infrequency of redist updates (about once a year recently) I completely forgot about one little important detail: If an out-of-date redist file already exists in the same directory as the installer program the installer just fails with no clue as to the cause:

Another interesting thing I discovered while playing with this issue is that the installer fails as above if there is a redist file in the installer directory which is not the one the installer is looking for, but if it is a prior download of the desired one it appears to go ahead and download (or redownload) a couple of language packs. By design or anomaly??

This is the official installer for Visual C++ Redist 2015-2019 downloaded directly from Microsoft's website. This version is the last one to support Windows XP, even though Microsoft links to an older version. There was never a 2015-2022 redistributable installer for Windows XP.

I've been using WDS to deply default images for awhile and I just learned about MDT. I am at the point of adding applications. I want to include all the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2010 x86/x64. However, I currently have them in .exe from the Windows website.

Your need to open the Deployment workbench and navigate to the applications section, from there you can add a new application which will be available to clients when the task sequence variables are being selected prior to the image being deployed.

Once there you will be asked whether you your application contains source files or not. Since this is an .EXE you won't need to select it contains source files, since all the source files will be built into the .exe, in most cases.

You would only select that the application has source files when you're using an .MSI for example, which usually has a number of other files associated to it needed to successfully complete the installation.

In my experience, it's always best to opt with an .MSI over deploying a .EXE as silent install commands are not always built into the package for .EXE executables I don't believe. However .MSI packages will accept known parameters such as:

The task sequence basically runs the command lines you specify after installation of windows, just as you would if you were installing a application via the command line on a machine manually, so test prior to adding to MDT.

We use 2010 MDT, and recently had a Microsoft consultant onsite training us. It's really easy to add applications, you just have to add the application with source files. You right click and add an application, but make sure to choose the option "with source files."

Today I am pleased to announce that we are making a change to Windows Container base image redistribution rights. In the past, customers could distribute Windows Container base images within their own organization, but they were not allowed to redistribute outside their own organization. With the change we are announcing today and the updated End User License Agreement (EULA), customers can now distribute the Windows Container base image as part of a consolidated container image comprising their application or framework.

The updated EULA can be found here End User License Agreement (EULA). You will find the updated section under User Rights. This can also be viewed in all the base images released from September 2022 onwards. As a reminder the file is labeled license.txt.

This change enables Windows Server customers to increasingly leverage containers in their modernization journey. We are implementing this based on feedback from our customers that needed the ability to distribute a complete containerized application directly to their customers. By allowing customers to directly ship their consolidated images with the base image it will enable customers across air-gapped environments to benefit from Windows Containers in their modernization journey.

Windows container base images were prohibited from being redistributed by customers. In other words, customers could not freely package the base images into their own solutions and distribute them freely to their end users.
