Looking for Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019

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

1. Download the file.
2. Right-click VC_Redist.x86.exe and select Run as administrator.
3. Select Install. If it detects an existing installation, select Repair.
4. 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^
