Visual C++ Redistributable Packages

Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are collections of essential files that enable Windows to run applications developed with Microsoft’s Visual C++ tools. Many programs rely on these shared components, like libraries, to function correctly. Installing the redistributable ensures all necessary code is present, preventing errors or crashes. Think of it as a universal set of tools that many software programs need to operate smoothly on your Windows system, making sure they run reliably without needing to install the full development environment.
