Hello. Where can I find this version Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 redistributable x86 - 14.34.31938 installer? I have a file installer residue of it, impossible to remove it from install/uninstall list. Need an installer to remove it. But I couldn't find this version anywhere on internet. Would appreciate help.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

If a computer has many different versions, can the old ones be uninstalled safely?

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable 8.0.61001

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable - 10.0.30319 10.0.30319

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable - 10.0.40219 10.0.40219

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) - 12.0.30501 12.0.30501.0

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) - 14.34.31938 14.34.31938.0

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86) - 14.34.31938 14.34.31938.0

I'm asking as being told that "the C++ libraries are used by applications across the years. Some newer applications use the new ones, older apps use the old ones. Even MS office uses some of the older libraries"

But I need to get computers updated for Cyber Security so feel that these need to be removed? Can someone reassure me that this will not break applications on the computer, please?

 

Cannot install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022

I was able to fix this in quite a few computers by doing the following:

1. First make sure all VC++ redistributable packages from 2015 onwards were uninstalled.
   
2. Open "regedit" and navigate to "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products"
   
   1. Search within all the child keys that have a product name of "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015...", "Microsoft Visual C++ 2019...", "Microsoft Visual C++ 2022...", etc.
      
   2. If you are having trouble with just the x64 version then you don't need to uninstall the x86 and its registry keys.
      
3. Try to install it again, it should work.
