The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages install run-time components that are required to run C++ applications built using Visual Studio.
Visual C++ Redistributable Packages install runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries on a computer that does not have Visual C++ installed. The libraries are required to run applications that are developed by using the corresponding version of Visual C++. These packages install runtime components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP and MSDIA libraries.
For libraries that support side-by-side deployment models (CRT, SCL, ATL, MFC, OpenMP), they are installed into the native assembly cache, also known as the WinSxS folder, on versions of Windows operating systems that support side-by-side assemblies.
