Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. These are required so that the executables of some programs will run, because they were compiled by their author using Microsoft Visual Studio (and a particular version of Visual Studio at that) and require Visual Studio's 'runtime' for C++ in order to run. Usually such runtimes are bundled with the software that requires them, but not always.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. These are required so that the executables of some programs will run, because they were compiled by their author using Microsoft Visual Studio (and a particular version of Visual Studio at that) and require Visual Studio's 'runtime' for C++ in order to run. Usually such runtimes are bundled with the software that requires them, but not always.

Microsoft maintains a list of the latest supported Visual C++ redistributables.

There seem to be different versions of vcredist_x86.exe, perhaps language dependent, so there are different MSI removal strings.

Installer Switches

  • /q - silent
  • /l "<log file>" - log to the specified file
  • Even more silent (though /q doesn't display anything anyway):
vcredist_2008SP1_x86.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~3.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qb!"" "

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
