What are Visual C++ Redistributable Packages?
The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages install run-time components that are required to run C++ applications that are built by using Visual Studio. Each of those applications were built by using different Visual Studio version.
Why I need them?
Most applications are first checking to see if you have the needed redistributable packages before continuing with installation but there are also applications that don't and in the end you getting errors like "msvcr110.dll is missing" or "msvcp110.dll is missing". So to be always be sure that you will not get such errors its better to install all of them.
Where to download?
Of course the best place to download them is from the official site. Here is the list of latest redistributable packages for each version.
The above list may be outdated so please check

How to install?
First of all visit one of the above links in the list, click on the download button and a window will pop up with a checkbox list. There may be listed many files but usually you will need the vcredist_x64.exe or the vcredist_x86.exe based on your machine. If you not sure you can install both of them. Select the files that you want to download and press Next. After the downloading run and install this/those files.
