Software Microsoft Visual C++ problems

[Hermann Oberth]

It is actually a Windows problem. But since weeks I don't get this right.

Can anybody tell me wich Visual C++ files I have to install?
Currently I've deleted both 2015 (x86) files, but he don't want to eat the 2015 (x64) files.

NONE of them should be deleted!
Any add-on (or other program) might depend on any of those.
You should never have to delete (uninstall) any redistributeable!

What add-on (or program) depends on what version of the runtimes is not always clear, sorry.

Well, Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.23026 told me to uninstall this version first, befor I can install it! Now I uninstall the x86 version and x64 still don't want.
Anyway, there is more of this missing since my reinstallation.
Some got in by win-update. Some not.

I actually have no problems with orbiter, but with windows "drivers".
...
- I reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) - 14.0.23026 now!

Its important to know, that the runtimes for 2017 don't replace the runtimes for 2015. They are better treated as distinct entities, even if you can sometimes run a C++ program for 2015 with a 2017 runtime. Usually it doesn't.

And if you need a 32 bit runtime or a 64 bit runtime depends on the application that you run. A 32 bit runtime can't run a 64 bit program.

I think you're right:

This protocoll say so.

Should I uninstall the 2017 version? And then install 2015?

Yeah, 2017 out - 2015 in, was working! I missunderstood this with x86/x64.
Now my 2010P1 is just jelling for GenericCamera.dll.
Any suggestions for that problem?
