Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable

Question

We have a couple of machine that has the 2010 redist that I need to patch ASAP. What is the recommended approach, uninstall it and then reinstall latest version or upgrade?

If I need to uninstall, what is the best way to do it via Intune, I have checked for PowerShell command and cant find any.

@Redistro, Thanks for posting in Q&A. For the Microsoft Visual C++ app, you can check if there's any install command to uninstall which can run silently without user interaction.

If yes, you can consider deploy it via Win32 app. For win32 app, we can use required assignment to deploy the app, use uninstall assignment to uninstall the app. Use Supersedence to deploy update. Here is a link with more details for your reference:

Hope the above information can help.
