@Elias:
Hi, I'm using Windows 7 and I want to play a video game but a message appears that says "The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem", and i am 13 years old and I don't know how to solve this problem
Download and install both the x86 and x64 versions of the Visual C++ redistributable package:
- x86: vc_redist.x86.exe
- x64: vc_redist.x64.exe
Looking for some advice on Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.
I am aware that applications are dependent on specific releases of Visual C++ Redistributables (i.e. 2012, 2013, etc.) and that I wouldn’t want to uninstall that release unless I knew for a fact that there are no dependencies for it.
My question is, can I update the installed release with the latest release? For example, can I update Visual C++ 2012 (12.0.21005) to Visual C++ 2012 (12.0.40664) without issue or am I better off to just leave it alone?

Usually it’s OK to just install newer ones along side the older packages as the apps call the ones they need. The same is true with revisions.
Do take note on your applications documentation on whether your applications require 32/64 bit versions though as that can catch you out.
If in doubt contact the vendor to see which is the absolute latest revision version their application supports. Sometimes revision builds have deprecations of features and if you swap them out you may wind up with runtime errors.
Addendum: in later builds of redistributables i believe a lot of them are now bundled together in one installer e.g 2015-2022
