Description Ariel Constenla-Haile 2016-10-28 02:03:50 UTC

The current product codes for the VC redistributables are as follow:

vcredist_x86.exe: E503B4BF-F7BB-3D5F-8BC8-F694B1CFF942
vcredist_x64.exe: 350AA351-21FA-3270-8B7A-835434E766AD

See https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/main/desktop/win32/source/setup/setup.cpp?revision=1591058&view=markup#l82

E503B4BF-F7BB-3D5F-8BC8-F694B1CFF942 is not even a valid one, according to https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2009/01/29/mailbag-how-to-detect-the-presence-of-the-visual-c-9-0-runtime-redistributable-package/

350AA351-21FA-3270-8B7A-835434E766AD is for an older version that is not even included in AOO 4.1.2 nor 4.1.3

Comment 6 Ariel Constenla-Haile 2016-10-28 03:20:27 UTC

You can test with the installers at http://home.apache.org/~arielch/AOO414/

These packages also install the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package for issue 127197

Comment 7 Matthias Seidel 2016-10-28 14:11:12 UTC

Is "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable" even needed?

I uninstalled it on my systems (Win 7 + Win 8.1/32bit) and do my every-day-work.
I can see no difference.

Is it only for 64bit (Therefore vcredist_x64.exe)?
