Error: A newer version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 Redistributable was detected on the computer

When I try to run the VS 2010 redistributable VS vsredist_x86.exe file, the error message “A newer version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 Redistributable is detected on the computer” appears and blocks me from installing.

I actually installed VS 2010 pro on my computer. But I don’t even know what the VS 2010 redistributable tool is and why the error occurred. Can someone help explain or solve the problem? Thank you so much in advance.

Redistributable packages are only required on machines for which VS2010 is not installed to provide the required battery life. If you check the Microsoft download page, for example:

Introductory paragraph:

The Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 redistributable package installs the Visual C ++ Libraries runtime components needed to run applications developed using Visual C ++ on a computer that does not have Visual C ++ 2010 installed.

You only need to install the redistributable on the computers to which you deploy your application. Most likely, the new version of Windows Update has been updated to a later version than it is currently downloaded in the standalone version, but in general it should not cause any problems.
