It's DLL hell 2.0

That won't help him, he'll just sidestep into dependency and USE hell.

It's the microsoft tax

This is why DLL hell doesn't exist anymore, suck it up or don't install old software that needs it.

just statically link you fucko

>>62233713
but it is free and allows your programs to run the way they were intended

>free
money wise, sure, but the tax is all the shit you have to deal with to make them run

To stop this you need free and open source programs and C library.

>>62233463
Yeah, what the hell is this anyway? I'm not even sure what's included in these redistributables, much less why I need so many of them.

>>62234677
Yes unless a program explicitly and exclusively uses an older version and won't update in that case SOL.

>>62233463

what is that ?

>>62234755
what, one mouse click?

>>62234805
one mouse click and all the bloat that comes with it

>>62234831

How do I get rid of it ?

>>62234872
you don't unless you want the software you downloaded all that shit for initially to stop working

How can I check if one particular version is being used by one of my programms or not? Like OP I have one MVC++ from 2005, but I don't think I have a programm that old which would need it on W10.
