Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable Package

Don't confuse the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable with the .NET Framework. Applications based on this framework only require .NET installed, but programs written in C++ require another package, which we'll describe in this article. When developers build applications in Visual C++, they typically use pre-made libraries with the DLL extension. These files can be generic and shared across different applications. Programmers have two options when distributing a program: either include the necessary DLLs with the program or use this shared standard C++ library.

Features of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package:
This package contains the runtime environment for the CRT, C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP, and MSDIA libraries. Some assemblies in this package are installed side-by-side on Windows in the WinSXS folder, which is available on 64-bit Windows. The advantage of using this package is that it is developed by Microsoft and contains bug fixes. Microsoft regularly updates this package every few years to fix bugs and improve performance. Typically, some of these packages are installed when installing any version of Windows, but new packages may be required when installing new programs.

These packages are either installed by the developers themselves during the installation process, or you encounter errors because the package is not installed and need to be installed separately. Note that each version of this package may be used by multiple applications, and not all applications will use it if you install the latest version. Therefore, never remove old packages. Removing old packages will erase all programs that depend on them. Therefore, it is best to install all versions at once so you can use them with peace of mind. In this post, we have provided all versions for download. We recommend everyone download and install them.
