The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ inÂstalled.
ÂThe package installs runtime components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP and MSDIA libraries. For libraries that support side-by-side deployment model (CRT, SCL, ATL, MFC, OpenMP) they are installed into the native assembly cache, also called WinSxS folder, on versions of Windows operating system that support side-by-side assemblies.
NOTE: There is an ongoing effort in Wine to provide a complete Microsoft Visual C++runtime library replacement – removing the need of installing the Microsoft VC++ redistributables packages. This is a work in progress hence you might still need to install Microsoft VC++ runtime.
If the application uses MFC library (Microsoft Foundation Classes), there will be no replacement hence installation of Microsoft Redistributables is a requirement for applications and games to work!
