Visual Studio 2015 Repair: Not all features are installed correctly?

Question

_{Sunday, April 23, 2017 6:41 AM}

I am having trouble repairing visual studio 2015. Here is the image: http://i.imgur.com/plNGVyu.jpg

I heard it is not good to remove other versions of redistributable. Is this true? If I do so, will it resolve the issue?

Hi mushroom_kar,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

Please don't worry about it, the screenshot is just a warning, which informs you that there is more advanced Visual C++ redistributables version is installed, that the 14.0.24210 version couldn't install additionally, and it doesn't affect your VS running properly.

>>I heard it is not good to remove other versions of redistributable. Is this true?

The function of redists is to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio 2015 installed. These packages install run-time components of these libraries: C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP. 

If you have any doubt about if there is any files broken, You may go the Control Panel to check which version VC++ Redist are installed, take my machine as an example, choose one and right click>Change>Repair, to repair them all:

Best Regards,
