Lightweight package that contains various run-time components of Visual C++ libraries required to run C++ apps built with Visual Studio 2017
However, I don't know which Microsoft Visual C to download from the site in the url above - do I need Visual C 2015 or 2017 or do both include the 14.0-version which is required for python? – Studentu Jul 7 '17 at 21:39. 0 Comments on Microsoft Visual C 2015 0.0 Softexia.com – Daily Software News Softexia.com is a Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Web Cloud and Windows software publishing website that provides free downloads, daily software updates and sales for trending software with discounts, coupon codes and other promos.
Note:This is the 2017-2019 version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. The older version, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2015, is listed separately.
If you don't know what exactly Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are, here's a forthright explanation: they're packages or libraries of shared code that allow C++ apps to be run on your computer without the need to install the full-featured IDE which is Visual C++.
Basically, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package 2017 or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 as its listed on Microsoft's website is required to run applications developed with the corresponding Visual C++ 2017.
Some technicalities
Please note that these packages come with support for all types of CPU architectures courtesy of streamlined x86 and x64 installers. It might be worth considering installing both these packages though, since there a fair share of apps which require specific components for both architecture types.
The 2017 packages are actually slightly updated packages of the 2015 packages of the and consist out of various run-time components such as C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and Open MP Libraries and a few other files like vcruntime140.dll, msvcp140.dll, vcomp140.dll, vcamp140.dll, mfc140.dll, just to name a few.
Ensure full C++ app compatibility with the help of these redistributable packages
From the average user's standpoint this is all somewhat irrelevant. What is relevant, however, is how much space do these packages require and how easy it is to deploy them on your computer. Fortunately, there are no bad things to report here. Tipping the scales at somewhere well under 50 MB when fully deployed and packed with streamlined installers that hardly require anything more than two mouse clicks on your part, it's safe to say that having these packages on your computer is quite convenient.

Before do anything, install or upgrade the Setuptools Python package. It contain compatibility improvements and add automatic use of compilers [source]

To get the the C++ Build Tools you can get it dircetly from Microsoft throught the provided links:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 Build Tools which comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015Download Link
To create an offline installation layout
- After you download the installer to a location on your file system, run 'visualcppbuildtools_full.exe /layout'.For example, run:
Microsoft Visual C%2B%2B 140
By using the /layout switch, you can download almost all the installation packages, not just the ones that apply to the download machine. This approach gives you the files that you need to run this installer anywhere and it might be useful if you want to install components that weren't installed originally.
