If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app's target architecture. The Redistributable version must be at least as recent as the MSVC build toolset used to build your app. We recommend you use the latest Redistributable available for your version of Visual Studio, with some exceptions noted later in this article. +Distribution of the Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable package, merge modules, and individual binaries is limited to licensed Visual Studio users and is subject to such License Terms. + For details on how to install and redistribute Visual Studio components, see [Redistributing Visual C++ Files](redistributing-visual-cpp-files.md). ## Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 diff --git a/docs/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files.md b/docs/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files.md index aece8877cf0..36e7350dce3 100644 --- a/docs/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files.md +++ b/docs/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files.md @@ -1,9 +1,8 @@ --- title: "Redistributing Visual C++ Files" description: "Visual Studio includes Redistributable libraries and components you can deploy with your app." -ms.date: 01/13/2023 +ms.date: 01/15/2025 helpviewer_keywords: ["application deployment [C++], file redistributing", "redistributing applications [C++]", "deploying applications [C++], file redistributing", "file redistribution [C++]", "redistributing applications [C++], about redistributing applications"] -ms.assetid: d201b2ce-36f1-44e5-a96c-0db81a1ba652 --- # Redistributing Visual C++ Files @@ -12,6 +11,8 @@ ms.assetid: d201b2ce-36f1-44e5-a96c-0db81a1ba652 ## Redistributable files and licensing +Distribution of the Visual C++ Runtime Redistributable package, merge modules, and individual binaries is limited to licensed Visual Studio users and is subject to such License Terms. + When you deploy an application, you must also deploy the files that are required to support it.
