Hey all,
Yesterday I installed a game and I noticed it installed Visual C++ 2005 x86 Redist along with it. I noticed there is a SP1 and a x64 version of the Visual C++ 2005 on microsoft.com and I have few questions about this:
1. I have a x64 system. Does the x64 version of the Visual C also cover 32 bit software like the game I just installed? Or do I have to install the x86 to be able to run 32 programs?
2. If there's a SP1 version of the Visual C, does it also cover the non-SP1 version? Do I have to remove the non-SP1 one first before I install the SP1 one?
I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on this since it has confused me for quite a while now.
Thanks in advance,
JohnnyGui
