To find the version number of the latest redist, download the redist you are interested in using one of the following links. Unlike older versions of Visual Studio, which have infrequent redist updates, the version number is not listed in the following table for Visual Studio 2015-2022 because the redist is updated frequently. We recommend that you install this version for all applications created using Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022. It also includes the latest C++ standard language and library standards conformance updates.

The latest supported version has the most recently implemented C++ features, security, reliability, and performance improvements. This table lists the latest supported English (en-US) Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022. 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. The Visual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries.
