This redistributable package installs runtime components of the Visual C++ libraries required to run 64-bit applications developed with Visual Studio 2019 (toolset v142). Without these components, applications compiled with this specific toolset will fail to start, displaying typical errors like "The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found" or "MSVCP140.dll is missing" . When installed, version 14.29.30153 places the following critical 64-bit binaries into %SystemRoot%\System32 (or WinSxS for side-by-side): vc_redist.x64 - 14.29.30153
Available from Microsoft Catalog or as part of Visual Studio 2019 (16.11.8) update.
