Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable All Versions Download (2026)

I dedicate this page to listing all Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installers.

You probably just installed some old software or games, only to find that they refuse to run. Sometimes, they complain about missing Visual C++ Redistributable runtimes.

So, in this post, I’ve collected all available Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages directly from Microsoft’s website. Enjoy!

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Download Links

All Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installers can be downloaded from the official documentation or Microsoft Dev Essentials (with a Microsoft account).

But, knowing Microsoft, they could one day change the page or hide it, just like they did with the Visual Studio Community installers.

Anyway, you can also download the same Visual C++ Redistributable installers from this page. All files are original and genuine, hosted directly on Microsoft servers.

You can either download and install the Visual C++ Redistributable manually or install it using the official winget package manager.

Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (v14)

Name: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable
Unlike earlier Visual Studio releases, which receive redistributable updates only occasionally, the Visual C++ v14 Redistributable version number is not included below because it is updated frequently.

- Visual Studio 2017
- Visual Studio 2019

It should also work for applications built with Visual Studio 2015 (VC++ 14.0), even though it is no longer supported.
