Microsoft Visual C++

[Mr_Furball]

Can I deinstall older versions of microsoft visual C++, and since my system is 64 bits, can I also deinstall the x86?

No, leave them alone.

Different versions are required for different applications that you use, and the 32-bit versions (x86) of Visual C++ are required for 32-bit versions of applications you use (Visual C++ 64-bit is no good for 32-bit applications).

That's why all existing versions of Visual C++ are left intact whenever you install a different version.

Ok, thanks for the tip
