Microsoft C Redistributable Install Any One

If you uninstall any one of the Visual C Redistributable packages, then one or more of your programs that rely on that specific version of Visual C Redistributable will stop working.

It all depends on which program youve installed and which architecture its for (x86 for 32-bit and x64 for 64-bit), and what the installed program calls for.

Microsoft does release security updates for all versions of the Visual C Redistributable packages, so it is best to just leave them alone.

You could start by looking at the install date of the Visual C Redistributable package (via Control Panel - Programs and Features) and then compare that to any corresponding programs installed at the same time.
