https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

second question .. the packages are in english, while my system is in italian! will i have problems?

 

no, just install and forget. You'll be fine.

 

i won't have any problem with vst, software like adobe, etc..? then what are packages in different languages for?

These are visual c++ libraries which many programs need to run. I don't think there will be any problem. Languages change the website language. Downloaded files are same.

There is no need for all in one bundle. The latest one is vc++ 2015, 2017, 2019 which is a single installation file. All the previous ones rarely gets updates.

As @Ankit said earlier, you should be fine.
The package you are about to install will be compatible on all Windows 10 systems regardless of the language used in the OS; those executables contain binaries which help Windows 10 run different librairies of C++.

 

Better, how?

If they're the official Microsoft redistributables, then they're the same, there is no "better".

And if they're not official, I would not under any circumstances install them. And I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

 

And there's no harm installing all of them, they're designed to be applied on top of each other, in whatever order.

At worst they'll refuse to install because you've a newer version. So you're good to go.

 

i don't know if those i linked are official! is techpowerup reliable?

 

when i reinstall windows i prefer to install all available packages! so there will be no vst or other software with dll missing errors etc..

 

yes, I already have an account! but what's the difference with the ones I posted?

 

Techpowerup is a legit site.

 

Nothing wrong installing them all, nothing wrong installing x86 and x64 together. The installer will fail if it detects newer versions

 

If you're uncertain, check the signatures before you install:

 

ok, download and install them all! i hope i have no problems with english packages in italian windows! thanks everyone as always, this is a nice place!
