Which visual studio redistributable should I give with my program? It is a console

  • 0

Which visual studio redistributable should I give with my program? It is a console application written in Visual c++ 2010. In the help section, about Visual Studio, I get this version: 10.0.30319.1. I compiled for 64 bit. The idea is to give the .exe together with some third party dll I need and the visual c++ redistributable. Is this correct? Can I create an installer for a console application?

    This one (VCPP 2010 x64):

    Note that when you are shipping 64 bit software you also need to ship 32 bit versions of the software (assuming you are supporting 32 bit.) The opposite isn’t necessarily true.

    And obviously you’ll link to the 32 bit version of the redistributable (or ship it) with the 32 bit version of the software. The correct redistributable for 32 bit is http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555.
