Answer 1

This is the link that you want (need) as of 6/5/17, choose between the 32bit (x86) or the 64bit (x64) or just install both if you have a 64bit (x64) based system.

Hint: The 32 bit is the most commonly used for app and program development as it will run on both 32bit and 64bit PC's.

Answer 2

You need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC from the link supplied in the marked as answer reply to this thread, the 32bit version download and install of the data link library will be the most likely one that you will need, even if you are using a 64bit system, however, if the app that needs the file to run was developed for a 64bit OS only then you will need the 64bit version. You can install both versions on a 64bit system as a 64bit system will run both 32bit and 64bit apps and/or programs.

Here is the link again, for your convenience.

This file is used by MS Visual Studio 2015 ( C++ ).  C++ is generally installed by the software that

requires it, but it can become corrupt, and some software may not include the  installer.

Try installing/reinstalling C++ 2015 from the download in the link below.

[ EDIT: '7/'17  A lot of people see up to 26 C++ installs, and worry about the disk space being used.

Don't !  Don't worry about them.

Even with 26 versions/sub-versions, the total is only in the region of 160MB... Insignificant.

If you are that hard up for disk space you well and truly need a bigger HDD.

• These files do not use any other system resources. They are code libraries which are accessed by the

softwares that requires them. Let them be... Don't worry... Be happy....  ;)   ]
