Microsoft Visual C 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC breaks DetectCondition #388. Js69 opened this issue Nov 2, 2016 1 comment Comments. Copy link Contributor. Microsoft Visual C 2015 Redistributable installs run-time components of Visual C libraries. These components are required to run C applications that are developed using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and link dynamically to Visual C libraries. The packages can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual. The Visual C Redistributable Packages install run-time components of Visual C libraries. These components are required to run C applications that are developed using Visual Studio 2015 and link dynamically to Visual C libraries. However, installing the Visual C 2015 redistributable will not replace the newer versions of the files installed by the Visual C 2017 and 2019 redistributables. This is different from all previous Visual C versions, as they each had their own distinct runtime files, not shared with other versions.
Necessary runtime components included
Once you install these runtime components, you are able to run apps developed with Visual C++ even if you do not have Visual C++ installed on your computer. Note that the installation comes with packages for both x64 and x86 CPU architectures. However, you can install both of them since there's a chance you'll encounter various apps which require specific libraries from both packages.
The package contain a wide range of useful components including C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP or MSDIA libraries.
Enhances app compatibility
When it comes to libraries that feature support for side-by-side deployment model, such as ATL, MFC, CRT, SCL, OpenMP, they get installed into the native assembly cache, also known as WinSxS folder. It needs to be mentioned that this happens only if the host computer runs an operating system that supports such side-by-side assemblies.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package provides you with the appropriate libraries required by both ClickOnce and Windows Installer applications. In other words, regardless of the deployment type of the app you want to run, as long as it was developed in Visual C++, you are able to launch it without having to worry about errors or incompatibility issues.
In conclusion...
Even though Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package might seem targeted at programmers and other tech savvy users, it should find its way on most computers of day-to-day users since there are numerous software solutions created in Visual C++ which, consequently, require the specified libraries in order to run smoothly.
