That's the strange Between an ".exe" and ".zip", the more "suspicious" is an ".exe". I was thinking about it, but then I remember it's Windows where everything have sense and logic So now I can sleep better
- Update / v92r minor revision to fix Update Mode for VC++ 2010 in Installer.cmd, and update Uninstaller.cmd with more registry cleanup no other changes to the content you don't need to run the revised version if everything needed is already installed
Can one help me to install the new Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable - 14.50.35503.0 Version on my windows 7 64-bit system, please i get an error that i can´t install it, why is it so....?! Thank you so much for trying to help me out with my problem!
Rule of thumb, if you have Windows 7 or 8, stay below version 100 of the installer. The older Win7-compatible runtimes are still in LTS for some time. @abbodi1406 - How realistic is keeping a unified installer and just skip the incompatible ones on Windows below 10?
For Win 7-8.1? or include Vista-XP ones? the compressed size will increase ~ 2 MB for each (extraction size increase ~ 25 MB each) it's not bad idea, but i'm more keen to only keep 7-8.1 the only inconvenience will be adding specific /ai switch to install proper VC++ 14 per each but i could skip adding that, and just keep /ai9 for latest 2026
I'm using it equally on Win 7 up to 11. Just don't want to juggle with two installer that are both still updated, having one for all and just skipping the incompatible parts on 7 would be best. Once Windows 7 VC++ becomes EOL, just remove the Win7 support on the next package (so we have a one last static installer for Win7). XP and Vista are not needed as they are mostly static and thus only a one-time setup.
Because they are jealous maybe? MDL devs put out working, non-bloated, powerful tools regularly, something MS forgot how to do, long ago. And yes, works even without f* AI! There, I said it. On the other hand, certain self-extracting installer stubs are always detected, especially the UPX-compressed ones.
