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 packages.

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 hid 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.

Download Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable

Name: Microsoft Visual C++ v14 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.
Install this version for all applications built using MSVC Build Tools available in:
- Visual Studio 2017
- Visual Studio 2019
- Visual Studio 2022
- Visual Studio 2026
It should also work for applications built with Visual Studio 2015 (VC++ 14.0), even though it is no longer supported.

Architecture	Version	Link
x86	v14 (Latest)	vcredist_x86.exe
x64	v14 (Latest)	vcredist_x64.exe
arm64	v14 (Latest)	vcredist_arm64.exe

Download Microsoft Visual C++ v13 Redistributable

Hmmm, it seems there is no such thing as a Visual C++ v13 Redistributable package. I think Microsoft skipped this version to make the naming less confusing.

Or maybe I missed it?
