A family of Microsoft suites of integrated development tools for building applications for Windows, the web, mobile devices and many other platforms. Miscellaneous topics that do not fit into specific categories.
Download the requested Microsoft Visual C++ 2015–2019 Redistributable (x86) 14.28.29334 directly from Microsoft:
Download VC_Redist.x86.exe version 14.28.29334
Microsoft documents that releases 14.20 through 14.29 use the versioned Visual Studio 2019 URL pattern shown above. Only use installers downloaded from a Microsoft site and signed by Microsoft.^1^
Install it
- Download the file.
- Right-click
VC_Redist.x86.exeand select Run as administrator. - Select Install. If it detects an existing installation, select Repair.
- Restart Windows if prompted.
For a command-line installation with progress displayed:
VC_Redist.x86.exe /install /passive /norestart
The installer also supports /repair, /uninstall, /quiet, and /log filename.txt.^2^
If that exact build is not mandatory
Install the latest supported unified x86 v14 Redistributable instead:
Download the latest vc_redist.x86.exe
Visual Studio 2017 and later share the v14 Redistributable files, and applications built with the Visual Studio 2019 toolset can use a Redistributable that is the same version or newer than the build tools used by the application.^3^
If the version-specific link is unavailable and the application strictly checks for 14.28.29334, sign in to Visual Studio Dev Essentials, open Downloads, and search for Visual C++ Redistributable. Microsoft lists Dev Essentials as the fallback source for older installers.^1^
