About "Microsoft Visual C ++ 2019 Redistributable Package"

[H_Shigenaga]

Hi Team,

Is the "Microsoft Visual C ++ 2017 Redistributable Package" included in the redistributable file "Microsoft Visual C ++ 2019 Redistributable Package"?

I needed VC ++ 2019 in addition to the already included VC ++ 2017.

Should I remove or keep the existing VC ++ 2017?

Thanks for any support.

Quote from Microsoft:

"Visual Studio versions since Visual Studio 2015 share the same redistributable files. For example, any apps built by the Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, or 2022 toolsets can use the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable."
