Hello,

I'm uninstalling a program that had a lot of MS Visual C++ distributions my question is:

-Are there tools that can scan my apps and tell me which are the ones I need or a manual way maybe through command prompt to discover that?

or

-If I uninstall a version that is used by another software will it stop working or it will recognize the problem and reinstall by itself the Visual C++ versions it needs?

Thanks a lot

Whether it will complain or not during uninstall depends on how that app using C++ runtime has its installer written. If having tweny C++ runtimes bothers you - delete them, but be ready to reinstall if an app refuses to work with "Cant' find DLL".
