VCRedistAIO - Visual C++ Redistributable All-in-One Installer

A comprehensive, automated installer for all essential Microsoft Visual C++ Runtimes. This package is designed to simplify the setup of a new Windows environment, ensuring that all necessary runtimes are installed to prevent errors when running a wide variety of applications and games.

Overview

Many applications, especially games and productivity software, require specific versions of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages to run correctly. Forgetting to install them can lead to common errors like "missing MSVCP140.dll" or "side-by-side configuration is incorrect".

This All-in-One (AIO) package streamlines the installation process by bundling all the essential redistributables into a single installer, driven by a smart batch script.

Features

• Automated Installation: Runs all installers in a single operation.
• Silent & Passive Mode: Installs all runtimes in the background with no user interaction required (/q, /qb, /passive).
• Automatic Privilege Escalation: The script automatically checks for administrator rights and will prompt for them if not found.
• Smart Architecture Detection: Automatically detects if your Windows OS is 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) and installs the appropriate runtimes.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Includes all major and commonly required Visual C++ Redistributable versions from 2005 to the present.
• No Restarts: The /norestart flag is used to prevent the system from automatically rebooting after each installation.
