  1. Plethora of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installs


    Is there any valid reason does Windows 10 need 5 versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable x86 and 5 versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable x64 then also have 5-7 versions each of the x86 installs for 2008, 2010, 2013, 2015, and 2015-2019 and additional 5-7 version of each of the x64 packages? This is a huge waste of space 3.1GB on large group of deployed laptops with limited storage space.



    For instance why isn't Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable x64 version 9.0.30729.6161 backwards compatible to the other four versions?

  2. Visual C++ Redistributable won't install?

    This issue might if the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package is not installed properly.

    I suggest you to uninstall any existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package to check if it helps.

    Follow the below steps:

    Step 1: Uninstall the exiting Microsoft Visual C++.

    a) Press Windows key + x key and select
    Programs and Features
    .

    b) Right click on the Microsoft Visual C++ and uninstall it.

    Step 2: Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ and install it.

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) install problem

    Thanks for the update on the result of you performing the suggested troubleshooting steps. Since you're still getting the error message, we suggest that you get in touch with the application developer to verify the compatibility of the app with Windows 10
    as well as confirm what other components it needs to install properly. The reason we are suggesting this is that the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are generally pre-installed in the Windows operating system and additional Microsoft Visual C++
    2008 SP1 Redistributable Packages may require an additional license to install.

    Regards.
