## Cheat Sheet

|
|
|
You pretty much can't run any freely available programs on Windows without the
|
|
MSVC Runtime and yet, for some reason, Microsoft won't include it for you, and
|
|
won't make it easy for those developers to understand how, or
|
|
[whether or not they're even allowed](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files?view=msvc-170#redistributable-files-and-licensing),
|
|
to actually redistribute it with their applications.
|
|
|
|
### How to Install the MSVC Runtime Manually
|
|
|
|
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
|
|
|
|
1. Download the official MSVC Runtime:
|
|
|
|
```pwsh
|
|
# For Legacy x86_64 (amd64) systems:
|
|
curl.exe -o vcredist.exe -L https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
|
|
|
|
# For modern ARM64 systems:
|
|
curl.exe -o vcredist.exe -L https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.arm64.exe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Install the redistributable
|
|
```pwsh
|
|
vcredist.exe /install /quiet /passive /norestart
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to see a visual progress bar you can remove `/quiet`, and if you
|
|
prefer to click next a few times for good 'ol times' sake you can remove
|
|
`/passive`, and if you prefer the nostalgia of rebooting your computer after
|
|
every install, remove the `/norestart`.
