Do you know how to silently install vcredist_x86.exe? Many friends may not know yet, so today I will share with you how to silently install vcredist_x86.exe. Friends in need can come and take a look.

When we package applications developed based on VC++, we will also package a VC runtime library. Otherwise, if installed in some non-development environment, your application can still run correctly.

Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package includes (VCRedist_x86.exe, VCRedist_x64.exe and VCRedist_ia64.exe).

It is a simple installation and integration of VCRedist.exe. After downloading, it is installed. After the installation is completed, a bunch of temporary files will be left in the root directory of the system or a certain disk.

After investigation, it was found that this was a known bug in the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, which Microsoft fixed in SP1.

One solution is to manually delete it after the installation is completed, but due to the random location, it is still somewhat difficult to delete it in the integrated installation package.

Of course, the easier way is to use Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package, here is the download link for x86.

This is the silent installation command for VCRedist.exe.

Vcredist_x86.exe /q:a /c:"msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn /l*v %temp%vcredist_x86.log"

If we directly call VCRedist.exe to install, a decompression dialog box will pop up. If you do not want this interface to appear, you can decompress VCRedist.exe first, and then complete the silent installation through "vc_red.msi /qn" (note that in InstallShield, pass msi installed by msiexec.exe).

In addition, it has been confirmed that the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package does not have the above problems.

Such as: inno setup

The above is the silent installation method of vcredist_x86.exe shared by the editor. I hope it can help everyone.
