    Small question...
    When I check my installed softwares I see these two entries:

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.4148 14.05.2021 788 KB 9.0.30729.4148
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.4148 14.05.2021 596 KB 9.0.30729.4148

    Both were obviously part of Simplex's May issue, yet they have a different size.

    ???

    Thanks

    Thank you.
    I thought it would be something simple. There are several items that come in 64 and 86. Is it advisable to delete all the 86 stuff?

    It's there for 32bit compatibility.
