Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package Description
Whenever you want to run an application that requires components of Visual C++ , you might start downloading this Integrated Development Environment without any further consideration. However, you can download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package to get the same libraries you required in the first place.
Necessary runtime components included
Once you install these runtime components, you are able to run apps developed with Visual C++ even if you do not have Visual C++ installed on your computer. Note that the installation comes with packages for both x64 and x86 CPU architectures. However, you can install both of them, because some applications might require specific libraries from a particular architecture type.
The package installs a wide range of components, including C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP or MSDIA libraries.
Enhances app compatibility
When it comes to libraries that feature support for side-by-side deployment model, such as ATL, MFC, CRT, SCL, OpenMP, they get installed into the native assembly cache, also known as WinSxS folder. It needs to be mentioned that this happens only if the host computer runs an operating system that supports such side-by-side assemblies.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package provides you with the appropriate libraries required by both ClickOnce and Windows Installer applications. In other words, regardless of the deployment type of the app you want to run, as long as it was developed in Visual C++ , you are able to launch it without any triggered errors.
A few last words
Even though Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package might seem targeted at programmers and other tech savvy users, it is advisable for any type of users to download and install it, since there are numerous software solutions created in Visual C++ and they might not function properly without the necessary libraries and components. The package comes with no price tag, so everyone can use it for as long as they see fit.
