Windows Home...
In the Remove/Uninstall window I see several listings for Visual C++. Does this mean I have Visual C++ installed somewhere on my machine? If so I can not find it. I should probably just try to remove these? Earl

I should probably just try to remove these? Is it just the redistributable? If so, it's probably required by another program you installed. -- Joel Crump

The libraries get installed by other programs that depend on them. If you remove them, something else will stop working. Just leave them.

Yes, one indicates Redistributable. So I leave them alone.

In the Remove/Uninstall window I see several listings for Visual C++. Does this mean I have Visual C++ installed somewhere on my machine? If so I can not find it. It is most likely one of the redistribution runtime libraries. Generally it is better to leave them as they are. If you wand or need C++ (or C#) you can get a free version of Microsoft's Visual Studio for example he http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/expr...aspx?wt.srch=1 Some elements of VisualStudio (e.g. the CSC.EXE compiler for c#) are included in the .net framework directory of any Windows Version from Vista Home upwards. Again - the c++ installations you see in add/remove programs, are most likely some runtime elements that don't harm anyone and it is better to not touch them ... greetings Roland Schweiger

No, it does not. It means that another application installed runtime re-distributable code. If so I can not find it. It's likely a set of DLL's. I should probably just try to remove these? Only if you want the program that installed and needs it to stop working. HTH -pk Earl
