DLLs that are only in older versions of Microsoft Visual C++

ERIC.DEUCHER 0

I got a program that apparently works with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 installed. I came to this conclusion after installing all the versions I found here 'https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170&source=docs', I installed one by one in several different sequences until I got to that 2013 visual I mentioned before, then I noticed that Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 is the only one that has the .dlls needed to run that program, so I wanted to know why the latest Microsoft Visual C++ do not contain these files?
dlls

Wouldn't it be easier for Microsoft to make a program available that downloads all of these Microsoft Visual C++? Then the program would always notify you when there are new updates for the newest or most recently available Microsoft Visual C++?

I'm talking about a new program because I think it would be difficult to merge the older versions with the new ones.

the program requires a pretty obsolete MFC runtime (vs 2010). vs 2010 mainstream support ended in 2015, and extended support ended in 2020. as these runtimes are not included with the O/S, the application should include then as part of its install.

as these runtimes are out of support, current version of C/C++ do not include.

Bruce thanks for replying, but I'd like to see if microsoft themselves come up with something to make it even easier to download and update these files. I'd be very happy to have something like MediaCreationTool_22H2, but only to download and be notified of new versions, like Microsoft Visual C++ 2024 or 2025.

you want the vs 2910 runtime redistributables. As they are no longer supported, but they can be downloaded.

Hello @ERIC.DEUCHER ,

I’m afraid, no application/program that meet your requirement currently. You still need to select and install the corresponding version of Visual C++ Redistributable packages.

I would recommend you submit a suggestion ticket on our Developer Community - Visual Studio/C++. If you do submit a suggestion ticket, please kindly share the ticket link here.

Thanks for your understanding, have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Tianyu
