Windows 10: Specific C++ Redistributable

I am looking for these specific c++ redistributable, I've tried googling and all I've found are newer versions, but I need them for .dlls that I'm trying to register. If you can please share them or link them:2005 x64 v8.0.563362008 x64 v9.0.307292010 x64 v10.0.402192012 x64 v11.0.51106.1

C++ redistributable

Sometimes when i install games, at the end they require two other components:
directX update and C++ 2005 redistributable.
Now the question is: This C++ 2005 means that the game was written in MSVC 2005?
*Wtf :wtf:

 

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.

Refer to the below link:

C++ redistributable

The C++ redistributables are a collection of libraries that are needed to run a C++ program on a computer that does not have Visual C++ installed.
There is no reason you have to link to specific versions of the library (unless earlier libraries do not contain the functions you want). You can even link to mutiple versions of libraries, but that is not highly recommended unless you are aware of the potential problems you could encounter.
So you could technically be using VS2008 or VS2010 and be linking to the 2005 libraries for whatever reason.

It's the same with C# and frameworks. You can compile against any compatible framework (2.0, 3.5, 4.0) as long as the libraries contain what you need. Depending upon what you compile against will determine what framework is required on the computer running the app, just like with the redistibutables.

So in answer to your question, it is likely that the game was written using VS2005, but it is not a requirement for using the libraries.
