We recommend you use the latest Redistributable available for your version of Visual Studio, with some exceptions noted later in this article.įor details on how to install and redistribute Visual Studio components, see Redistributing Visual C++ Files. The Redistributable version must be at least as recent as the MSVC build toolset used to build your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app's target architecture. If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. These libraries are required by many applications built by using Microsoft C and C++ tools.
