Sorry for the delay, now that I come to think of it... what I find less pleasing is the individual flashing of windows of the different packages; but I still appreciate a way to know how it's doing overall. That's likely why I preferred the older textual representation of the installer, things were installing in the background silently but you could read what was being done (e.g. uninstalling non-compliant versions, installing VC vX, etc.). As for the VB runtimes... were they included as well? I don't recall seeing them in the list of installed apps, I thought it was just the redistributables of Visual C++ (W10 os as base), but you know more about the matter than me haha.
I will restore the old behavior for Manual mode (i.e. no pop up windows) in next version regarding VB runtimes, at first i only included VB6 common controls, and they were copied and registered manually but with the merge with ricktendo's pack, the whole VB runtimes are added (6,5,4,3,2,1), and i created msi installer package for them to avoid manual registration and can be easily uninstalled
When new version will be released? And will be a special version only for Win 10/8.1 (drop all unnecessary files)?
No big changes require new version for now except UCRT which takes < 1 MB, all files are for Win 10/8.1
Game booster is wrong, the latest version is 12.0.40664.0 included with this C++ AIO pack. I don't know why it offers an older version. Maybe it fails completely to detect it. It happens often with questionable patch manager like that. Even reputable patch managers screw up often when it comes to Visual C++. It appears that few pieces of software are getting Visual C++ runtime update checking right.
