Here are the versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable (圆4) he has installed:Īs long as he keeps the newest one installed (v9.6161), he can uninstall the older ones (v2 v9.17 and v9.4148). >Itâ€™s enough to have just one version per â€œyearâ€… The latestįor example, in a previous post in this discussion, Ivan Lazerov listed the redistributables on his system. > the last version of each redistributable package of C++ per year. What you can do, if you have both older and newer versions of a single redistributable (multiple versions of one particular year), is keep the newest version of that one particular year, and delete the older versions of that one particular year. If you are asking “If I install the 2019 redistributable, can I safely uninstall the 2008, 2012, and 2013 redistributables?” then the answer is No. >If I uninstall *all* previous versions, and then install *only* the latest one â€“ is it enough then for *all* applications to run, including older apps? Now You: How many Redistributable packages are installed on your system? (via Born)

While it does not take care of older C++ Redistributable packages, it did so starting with the release of the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable. The Universal C Runtime is a step in the right direction. The Visual C++ All in One Installer is also useful when it comes to installing redistributable packages on Windows systems.

Older Visual C++ Redistributable packages for Visual Studio still need to be downloaded and installed separately, or delivered as part of a program's installation process. Windows administrators may download the Universal C Runtime with a click on the following links: In addition, local deployment of the Universal CRT is supported, with some restrictions. It is included as part of the operating system in Windows 10 and is available for older operating systems, Windows Vista through Windows 8.1, by using Windows Update. The Universal CRT is a Microsoft Windows operating system component.
