Ensure full C++ app compatibility with the help of these redistributable packagesįrom the average user's standpoint this is all somewhat irrelevant and maybe unnecesary. The 2015-2019 packages include slightly updated packages of the 2015 to 2019 redistributable packages and consist out of various run-time components such as C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and Open MP Libraries and a few other files like vcruntime140.dll, msvcp140.dll, vcomp140.dll, vcamp140.dll, mfc140.dll, just to name a few.

It might be worth considering installing both these packages though, since there a fair share of apps which require specific components for both architecture types. Please note that these packages come with support for all types of CPU architectures courtesy of streamlined x86 and 圆4 installers. If you don't know what exactly Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are, here's a forthright explanation: they're packages or libraries of shared code that allow C++ apps to be run on your computer without the need to install the full-featured IDE which is Visual C++.īasically, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2015-2019 or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2019 as its listed on Microsoft's website is required to run applications developed with the corresponding Visual C++ 2015-2019.
