After downloading and reading the information on " What dependencies does Train Simulator Classic use." I checked in my Apps and Features and found that I had Microsoft Visual C + 2010 x 64 and 86, also 2013 and 2015- 2022..the desired dependency. My question is, if I go ahead and delete the Microsoft Visuals of 2010 and 2013, as suggested, will that cause problems with the operation of Microsoft Visuals 2015-2022 and leave me in the fetal position sobbing. Thanking you in advance..
You might find that other games may require the other versions as well. Hence why most game uninstallers don't also uninstall these "Distributables" as multiple programs tend to utilise them. But if you wanted to try it. Worst case scenario is that you will need to reinstall the games (Which will also reinstall the distributables as required.
Various software, not just games, depends on different versions of the Visual C++ Runtimes. Deleting any one of them is a good way to stop whatever installed those particular ones because they were necessary for it from working.
Do not uninstall them. They do not interfere with each other, and each program only calls the runtime it needs.
Thanks all of you for your information. I wasn't quite sure would could have unfolded. Appreciate your time.
