Do I need both Visual C++ packages installed?º

[Guest Carlos]

Do I need both Visual C++ redistributables (x64 & x86) installed in Vista x64?

x64 package

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=eb4ebe2d-33c0-4a47-9dd4-b9a6d7bd44da

x86 package

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en

so that x64 apps written in Visual C++ (x64) can run properly and x86 apps

written in Visual C++ (x86) can also run properly, BOTH in Vista x64?

Do both redistributables coexist peacefully?

I get the feeling that my failed Nero 8 trial installation had to do

something about not having the x86 redistributable installed on Vista x64

("sidebyside" errors on the registry)

Hmm, good question.

 

I suppose, since this in large part consists of *.DLL's (and even a lot of

the *.EXE's are DLL's inside) and neither the OS nor the WoW subsystem is

supporting it on it's own - it would be logical to expect you'll need both.

But I know too little, more insight could easily reverse the logic.

 

Anyhow, I don't expect a trial installation to disturb anything, if you

remove it again, that support will be gone?

My first thoughts are that you should not need them. I have

never had to install them on any of my computers. Usually

any required programming components needed, C++ in this

case, are actually included in the program package itself;

either compiled into the program or as an accompanying .dll

library file.
