Some older programs and games "need" these older runtimes to function properly.Īll of them together add up to less than 250 MB.įor comparison, Simcity 2000 (installed), is about 220 MB Making sure you end up with an x86 and an 圆4. 2005 for example, just remove the oldest ones. You can tell by the version numbers, which ones are the old ones. There should be an x86 and 圆4 for each of the included years.

Install it then go through the list and remove only the older versions of each year's runtimes. Here's an all in one installer for the latest Visual C++ runtimes. Some or even all of them may be needed for some programs to function properly.

It would be better for me to uninstall them? If so is there a quick way - gonna be tedious uninstalling them one by one isn't it?

Should be kept or good to remove?Īnd he has about 100 games installed. Got my son's old pc and he's got C++ redistributables going back to 2005.
