No Visual studio software on computer (screenshot)

There seems to be a few programs i cannot run since i don't have Visual studio on my computer as you can see in my screenshot .

Do i need all the visual studio's because when i attempted to install VS 2010 i got a message saying your computer does not support it .

I am running Win 7 64 bit SP 1

Thank you

Thanks gentleman , windows updates does not seem to pull them up for some reason .

I only tried a link on Microsoft's site to download VS 2010 and it didn't work .

You don't need VS 2010 for the redistributable files that you need. You need the Visual C++ redistributable packs instead. There is quite a difference.

Try these packages instead:

I checked and they should all install with Win 7.

Note that the programs that you are trying to use should have installed the redistributable packages when you installed them if they were needed. I find it very unusual that you have none installed at all, but weirder things have happened. Try installing the above packages and see what happens.

Thank you very much , will do.


The first three links are no good , the last one works though.

Try clicking the link to the download , thats when it says not available , will try your other link , thanks.



The other link (last works) however , it says it's x86 not x 64 like the first one i downloaded , is this normal ?

I think it's a MS problem.
Today I've seen several MS pages that one minute it shows "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found".
Then, a few minutes later the page works.

Yeah , thanks i got everything installed though , here is a screenshot , i may have installed a duplicate not sure.

I seem to have two 2008 versions. Everything works now so thank you so much for your help everyone .
