Quick Overview

The abbodi1406/vcredist repository is a collection of scripts and tools for managing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages. It provides automated methods for downloading, installing, and updating these essential runtime components, which are required by many Windows applications.

Pros

  • Simplifies the process of managing Visual C++ Redistributables
  • Supports a wide range of Visual C++ versions (2005-2022)
  • Offers both graphical and command-line interfaces for flexibility
  • Regularly updated to include the latest versions and security patches

Cons

  • Primarily focused on Windows systems, limiting its usefulness for other platforms
  • Requires administrative privileges to install redistributables
  • May not be necessary for users who keep their systems updated through Windows Update
  • Could potentially conflict with existing installed versions if not used carefully

Getting Started

  1. Clone the repository or download the latest release from the GitHub page.
  2. Run the VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe file with administrative privileges for a graphical interface.
  3. Alternatively, use the command-line tool install_all.bat for silent installation:
install_all.bat /silent
  1. For more advanced options, consult the README file in the repository.

vcpkg

26,054

C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS

Pros of vcpkg

  • Comprehensive package manager for C and C++ libraries
  • Supports multiple platforms and architectures
  • Integrates well with CMake and other build systems

Cons of vcpkg

  • Larger scope and complexity, potentially overkill for simple projects
  • Requires more setup and configuration
  • May have a steeper learning curve for beginners

Code Comparison

vcredist:

@echo off
set "vcredist=%~dp0VC_redist.x64.exe"
start "" /wait "%vcredist%" /install /quiet /norestart

vcpkg:

# CMakeLists.txt
find_package(CURL CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE CURL::libcurl)

Summary

vcredist is a focused tool for distributing Visual C++ runtime libraries, while vcpkg is a comprehensive package manager for C and C++ libraries. vcredist is simpler and more straightforward for its specific purpose, while vcpkg offers broader functionality but with increased complexity. The choice between them depends on project requirements and scope.

STL

10,870

MSVC's implementation of the C++ Standard Library.

Pros of STL

  • Official Microsoft repository for the C++ Standard Template Library
  • Regularly updated with new C++ standards and features
  • Extensive documentation and community support

Cons of STL

  • Focused solely on the C++ Standard Template Library
  • May require more setup and configuration for use in projects

Code Comparison

STL:

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>

std::vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
std::sort(v.begin(), v.end());

vcredist:

@echo off
set "vcredist=Visual C++ Redistributable"
echo Installing %vcredist%...

Key Differences

  • Purpose: STL is a C++ library, while vcredist is a script for managing Visual C++ Redistributables
  • Scope: STL is focused on C++ development, vcredist on system-wide runtime management
  • User base: STL targets C++ developers, vcredist is for system administrators and end-users

Use Cases

STL:

  • Developing C++ applications
  • Implementing standard algorithms and data structures
  • Learning and exploring C++ features

vcredist:

  • Automating Visual C++ Redistributable installations
  • Managing runtime dependencies for Windows applications
  • Simplifying deployment of C++ applications on Windows systems

llvm-mingw

2,477

An LLVM/Clang/LLD based mingw-w64 toolchain

Pros of llvm-mingw

  • Provides a complete LLVM-based toolchain for Windows, offering better optimization and cross-platform compatibility
  • Supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows targets
  • Includes LLVM's Clang compiler, which often provides better error messages and diagnostics

Cons of llvm-mingw

  • May have compatibility issues with some Windows-specific features or libraries
  • Requires more setup and configuration compared to vcredist
  • Less widespread adoption in the Windows development ecosystem

Code Comparison

vcredist:

@echo off
set "vcredist=%~dp0VC_redist.x64.exe"
start "" /wait "%vcredist%" /quiet /norestart

llvm-mingw:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH="/path/to/llvm-mingw/bin:$PATH"
x86_64-w64-mingw32-clang++ -o myapp.exe myapp.cpp

The vcredist script focuses on installing Visual C++ redistributables, while llvm-mingw provides a complete toolchain for compiling Windows applications using LLVM and Clang.

VisualCppRedist AIO

Overview:

  • AIO Repack for latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes, without the original setup bloat payload.

  • Built upon VBCRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe by @ricktendo64

  • The process is handled by a windows command script, which runs hidden in the background by default.

  • Before installation, the script will check and remove existing non-compliant Visual C++ Runtimes, including the original EXE or MSI setups, or older MSI packages versions.

  • The uninstallation option/script will remove any detected VC++ runtimes (except UCRT).

  • You can extract the installer file with 7-zip or WinRar to a short path, and run Installer.cmd as administrator

  • By design, Microsoft Windows Installer creates restore point for each msi package, if System Restore is active.

/aiP  
Manual Hide or Show Runtimes entries in Add/Remove Programs panel.

/ai1  
Update mode. Only already installed packages are updated.

/aiF  
Repair mode. Only already installed packages are reinstalled or updated.

/gm2  
Optional switch to disable extraction dialog for all other switches.

/sfxlang:  
Set the program display language, if possible. Example: /sfxlang:1031

/h | /?  
Display this help.

Examples:

Automatically install all packages and display progress:  
VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe /y

Silently install all packages and display no progress:  
VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe /ai /gm2

Silently install 2022/2026 package:  
VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe /ai9 /gm2

Silently install 2010/2012/2013 and Extra VB/C packages:  
VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe /aiX23E

Silently install all packages and hide ARP entries:  
VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe /aiA /gm2

Only update already installed packages:  
VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe /ai1

  • /y gives the same default behavior, but without the beginning and finish prompts

  • only /sfxlang and /gm2 can be specified separately with other switches

  • if other switches are specified separately together, only the last one will have an effect.

Example, this will only install Extra VB/C package:
/ai5 /ai8 /aiT /aiE

  • to install separate packages together, combine their latest switch character after /ai

Example:
/ai58X239E

  • you should not combine modes switches, this will cause unforseen errors.

Example for wrong usage:
/ai1FMU

  • /sfxlang must be the first switch to have effect.

Example:
/sfxlang:1031 /aiV

  • running /ai9 on Windows 7/8/8.1 will install VC++ 2022 package.

  • to force installing stable VC++ 2022 package on Win 10/11:

manually uninstall any VC++ 2026 runtimes

manually uninstall any VC++ 2022 runtimes with version 14.50.xxxxxx or later

run the installer with switch /ai7
