Update : I've updated the package to contain latest redistributable installers for Visual Studio 2015/2017/2019, as described on Microsoft's page The latest supported Visual C++ downloads.Microsoft Visual C++ is a integrated development environment (IDE) used to create Windows applications in the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages.
REDISTRIBUTABLE 2008 SP1 FULL
Update: I also prepared a full package with my script and "pirated" copy of all these installers for your convenience: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package.zip (77.3 MB). "2017\vc_redist.圆4.exe" /install /passive /norestart "2015 Update 3\vc_redist.圆4.exe" /install /passive /norestart "2015 Update 3\vc_" /install /passive /norestart "2013\vcredist_圆4.exe" /install /passive /norestart "2013\vcredist_x86.exe" /install /passive /norestart "2012 Update 4\vcredist_圆4.exe" /passive /norestart "2012 Update 4\vcredist_x86.exe" /passive /norestart "2010 SP1\vcredist_圆4.exe" /passive /norestart
"2010 SP1\vcredist_x86.exe" /passive /norestart
REDISTRIBUTABLE 2008 SP1 INSTALL
To quickly install all of these libraries on the machines where lots of different applications are launched that may require them, I gathered all the libraries in one directory and I have written following BAT script: "2005 Updated\vcredist_x86.exe" /Q install /passive /norestart - passive (unattended) mode
passive /norestart - passive (unattended) mode qb! - unattended mode with "Cancel" button disabled. qb - unattended mode, shows progress bar but no user interaction required. Visual Studio 2008: Just pass one of these parameters: Visual Studio 2005 (updated - the one I use): Unattended mode + disabled "Cancel" button is "/qb!". If you would like to install it in unattended mode (which will show a small progress bar but not require any user interaction), you can change the "/qn" switch above to "/qb". Vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~3.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn"" " Vcredist_圆4.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~2.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn"" " Vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~1.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn"" Visual Studio 2005, x86 (32-bit version): The question is: can you launch the installer of these packages with some special parameter so the user doesn't have to go through all the setup wizard, confirming each step? The answer is yes, but as Microsoft likes to change everything very often :) the exact command line is different depending on version. The library is small and free, available to download from Microsoft website: Alternatively, you can distribute these DLL files (although I'm not sure if this is legal) or the whole library installer together with your application.
REDISTRIBUTABLE 2008 SP1 CODE
You can make your application not requiring this library by setting your project options in Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library to "Multi-threaded " without the "DLL" part, which makes it statically linked. For example, version for Visual Studio 2013 (Release configuration) consists of files: msvcr120.dll, msvcp120.dll. Each version of Visual Studio has their own set. The functions of standard C/C++ library are implemented in a package of DLL-s called Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. You may think that unless you explicitly use some external library (like FMOD), your program will not require any additional libraries to work, but when coding in C++ using Visual Studio, this is not the case. I keep it for reference, but it probably doesn't reflect my current knowledge and beliefs. Warning! Some information on this page is older than 5 years now.
