Please note that there is a better solution in place right now: VcRedist from Aaron Parker (Stealthpuppy). The information below will no longer be updated.

I made a script that installs all the Microsoft C++ Runtime modules. These modules can be found on the Microsoft site Latest Supported Visual C++ Downloads. On x86 only the x86 modules are installed. On x64, both x86 and x64 modules are installed.

The list has been populated on June, 14th, 2014. So the list of C++ Runtime modules might – and will be – change.

The folder list should be as follows:

The only thing you have to do is to download all the redistributable packages:
