How to install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime
Why must install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime? When developers create a Windows program using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, there are specific dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that their programs are linked to work correctly.
These DLLs are distributed through the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime and if the package is not installed, users will get an error stating that the DLL is missing or you need to install a runtime.
For example, the video game Valorant has released an update that does not include the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime, which causes the game to stop working after installing the update.
When a user launches Valorant, they will get the following error:
"The following component (s) are required to run this program: Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Runtime"
The good news is that it's actually easy to fix this problem by downloading and installing the runtime from Microsoft's website.
