Some winget packages that will get you x86 or x64 versions of vcredist140
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/10/15
A while ago I downloaded some internal tooling that required vcredist140.dll (and related DLLs).
From the name you cannot see if that is a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) dependency so you often have to trial and error to figure out which one you need.
I adopted some winget package install command-lines with package IDs current at the time of writing this blog post; similar should be available at the time of publication:
- [Wayback/Archive] Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) with winget:
winget install --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --exact --id Microsoft.VC++2015-2022Redist-x64 - [Wayback/Archive] Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86) with winget:
winget install --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --exact --id Microsoft.VC++2015-2022Redist-x86
Keep in mind though that there are multiple versions of vcredist140 covering a variety of Visual Studio versions. It was initially introduced with Visual Studio 2015 (which has internal version 14.0, see the Microsoft Visual Studio history table) but at the time of writing is also used for Visual Studio versions 2017, 2019 and 2022.
