How to Install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime |

If you run the program and receive an error message stating that the program you are trying to run requires Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime, you can use this tutorial to install the package to make your program work again.

When developers create Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, there are special dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that their programs are connected to to work properly.

These DLLs are distributed through the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 runtime environment, and if the package is not installed, users will encounter errors indicating that the DLLs are missing or that you need to install the runtime environment.

For example, the video game Valorant today released an update that did not include Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime, making the game not work after installing the update.

When users start Valorant, they are greeted by the following error instead.

“The following components are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime”
