What is Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable?

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (MSVCR) is a package offered by Microsoft for programs developed using Visual Studio. It contains C and C++ runtime libraries and is essentially plug-and-play on the Windows platform. You need to download the required Visual C++ version number requested by the program and install it to start working. If the program built uses C or C++ libraries, then the corresponding Visual C++ package is required to run the program. The architecture of Visual C++ must match the application's target architecture.

Which Visual C++ Redistributable is needed?

There are multiple versions of Visual C++ available, and you can download and install specific versions according to your computer architecture. The packages are available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. If you have an x64 (64-bit) operating system (OS), then you can install both x64 and x86 (32-bit) versions on your Windows platform. However, for x86 operating systems, you can only download and install x86 versions. Here is a list of all available versions for both x86 and x64 OS: Latest Supported MSVCR for Visual Studio.

Visual C++ Redistributable for Iron Products

IronPDF

What is IronPDF, and How Does it Relate to Visual C++?

IronPDF .NET Library is a .NET Library for PDF creation and manipulation. Applications can be developed using IronPDF in Visual Studio. IronPDF supports the latest .NET versions and goes back to standard 2.0 and standard core versions of the .NET Framework. If you are building apps for older operating systems, then a Visual C++ Redistributable package is a must.

IronPDF requires a Visual C++ Redistributable package on the target Windows platform for most of its operations. Tasks related to Chrome dependencies, or if you are not able to initialize IronPDF, IronInterop, or Pdfium objects all require Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package on the target machine. Another common exception raised is PlatformNotSupportedException. This means the registry is not supported on this particular platform. This rarely-seen issue can also be solved by installing the required Visual C++ redistributable package.

Applications developed using Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 require the latest version of the Visual C++ Redistributable package to run on the target machine. It is available for both x86 and x64 architecture machines.

IronPDF uses the Chromium Engine to convert HTML to PDF using IronPDF, which is fast, accurate, and reliable.

IronOCR

What is IronOCR, and How Does It Relate to Visual C++?

IronOCR Library is an Optical Character Recognition library used to extract text from images and PDFs. IronOCR also uses IronPDF capabilities to work with PDF documents. This means Visual C++ Redistributable packages are often required with IronOCR applications.

IronOCR applications are also built using Visual Studio, and a relevant Visual C++ package is required. Versions of Visual Studio versions before 2015 require a separate Visual C++ redistributable runtime package. For Visual Studio 2015 and above, the latest version MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2015 - 2022 RUNTIME is required to be installed.

For more troubleshooting guides on Visual C++ redistributable for IronOCR, visit the IronPDF Troubleshooting Guide.
