MultiPack Visual C++ Installer 0.7

Sure enough, a fresh deployment of Windows means all necessary tools for running just about any basic program gets installed. However, runtime of an application depends on libraries used in the development, so you might need additional components. For instance, Visual C++ Runtime Installer delivers all Visual C++ Runtime libraries through a single setup.

Best to install after a fresh Windows setup
On a general note, the application is incredibly useful to have around and even carry around on a USB flash drive, allowing you to easily deploy all Visual C++ Runtime libraries in a single step right after setting up Windows. It contains and deploys both x86 and x64 components.

More importantly, the package receives frequent improvements to include the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package updates. It differs from the standard Visual C++ Runtime installation because it contains the entire history of updates, and not just the latest set of changes.

Deploy all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package builds in a single run
Running the installer brings up a command line interface, but don’t worry. In spite of this approach, there’s enough documentation along the way to ensure anybody can deploy the package in the shortest time possible. It’s recommended to cease all other activities and uninstall existing versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package before going through with the setup.

It doesn’t really take a lot of time for components to be deployed, and the application also attempts to remove existing versions, just to create a fresh install. It’s recommended to install the package after a fresh Windows setup so you don’t risk creating any compatibility issues for programs heavily relying on these library sets.

If you want to check what versions are already on your computer, you simply need to access the Programs and Features panel in Windows. This can also be done to review components deployed through this application.

To end with
All things considered, we can state that Visual C++ Runtime Installer is a must-have little utility you can safely keep on a USB flash drive along with other dependencies you want to deploy after a fresh Windows setup. Constant updates make sure you always have the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package build.
