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

Notes
Visual Studio versions since Visual Studio 2015 share the same Redistributable files. For
example, any apps built by the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022 toolsets can use
the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. However, the version of the Microsoft
Visual C++ Redistributable installed on the machine must be the same or higher than the
version of the Visual C++ toolset used to create your application. For more information
about which version of the Redistributable to install, see Determining which DLLs to
redistribute.
