Microsoft Visual C Redistributable Packages ++ (Visual C Redistributable ++) They contain the necessary components to run games and programs developed with the corresponding versions of Visual Studio and are generally required when errors such as “the program cannot be run” due to missing from computer DLL files whose names start with msvcr or msvcp. Visual Studio components 2012, 2013 Y 2015 are needed most of the time, but the Visual C distributed packages ++ 2005-2019 can be downloaded and installed.
The alternatives to download Visual C are described below ++ Distributable Components para Windows 10, 8.1 and Windows 7, x64 and x86 (32 bits) in the official way from the Microsoft web portal and through installation from a third-party source, for problems you may encounter during installation and additional information that may be helpful.
Download Visual C Distributable Packages ++ from Microsoft site
The first way to download Visual C components ++ is the official and, therefore, the safest. The following components are available for download (some of them can be downloaded in different ways)
- Visual Studio 2015-2019: installing this package installs all required Visual C components ++ 2015, 2017 Y 2019 in a single installation file.
- Visual Studio 2013 (Visual C ++ 12.0)
- Visual Studio 2012 (Visual C ++ 11.0)
- Visual Studio 2010 SP1
- Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Important note: If you are downloading libraries to fix errors when running games and programs (sin DLL) and its system is 64 bits, you must download and install both x86 components (to 32 bits) as x64 versions, since many programs need 32 -bits from bit libraries (x86) to work even on Windows 10, 8.1 and Windows 7 x64.
The order of loading the components will be as follows:
- Go to the official page https://support.microsoft.com/ru-ru/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads and select the desired component.
- For Visual C ++ 2015-2019, just download and install vc_redist.x86.exe and vc_redist.x64.exe files directly
- In the case of Visual C components ++ 2013, after choosing “Microsoft Visual C Distributed Packages ++ for Visual Studio 2013 ”you access a page with two lists of installers: x64 and x86, a different link for each language. Download the components through the link you need (Russian does not fit the picture below, but it is enabled).
- For some components (as an example, for Visual C version ++ 2012), you will see a prompt to sign in with your Microsoft account. But it is not necessary: later in this post, I will link to a direct download from Microsoft's site without logging in.
Additionally there are separate pages available on the Microsoft site for downloading distributed Microsoft Visual C packages. ++, below is a list of those pages:
After downloading the Visual C components ++ what do you need, run the downloaded files and go through the entire installation procedure.
Possible problems during installation:
- If the installation of individual components indicates that they are already on your computer, try a different size installer (can be the one that remains).
- If you are sure that program or game execution problems are caused by some set of components, but it is not installed, mire: if it is present in the Control Panel list – Programs and components. If so, try to remove it there and restart the installer.
- If you have disabled any Windows service 10, 8.1 and Windows 7 related to updates or “Windows Installer”, this can cause errors when installing Visual C libraries ++.
- Separate instructions on error 0x80070666 when installing Visual C components ++ and the unidentified error 0x80240017.
Unofficial way to download DLL: Visual C runtime installer ++ (all in one)
There are unofficial installers for the Visual Studio DLLs required to run the programs. One of these installers seems to be safe (all three detections in VirusTotal appear to be false positives) – Visual C ++ Runtime Installer (All-In-One) which installs all the necessary components (x86 and x64) from one installer at the same time .
The installation procedure is as follows:
- Launch the installer and press Y in the installer window.
- The post-installation procedure will be automatic and the existing Visual Studio distributable package sets will be removed from the computer before the components are installed. Visual C distributable packages are installed ++ of 2005-2017, as well as additional libraries.
