Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable ( Offline Installer )

Question

Friday, June 9, 2017 4:15 PM

Hello All!

I found the following link which has the Web Installer for the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable

https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ ( Under "Other Tools and Frameworks" )

The problem I have is that I need to distribute the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable across a set of computers that are Offline and it appears that this installer is a Web Installer.

Is there a link to a Offline version of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable

Thanks in Advance.

Cheers,

-Blake

Hi Blake,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

Currently, only Web installer of Visual C++ Redistributable is available on the website.

For this offline installer, I help you submit a feature request in UserVoice:

You may also vote it if it's necessary for you, Microsoft Visual Studio product team will evaluate this request seriously, please wait patiently.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Hi,

Try generating the offline installer from the web installer using the /layout option:

vc_redist.x64.exe /layout <folder>

There is a .log generated in TEMP folder.

It's the same mechanism than for VS 2017:
