Do I need both Visual C++ redistributables (x64 & x86) installed in Vista x64?
x64 package
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=eb4ebe2d-33c0-4a47-9dd4-b9a6d7bd44da
x86 package
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...D9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en
so that x64 apps written in Visual C++ (x64) can run properly and x86 apps
written in Visual C++ (x86) can also run properly, BOTH in Vista x64?
Do both redistributables coexist peacefully?
I get the feeling that my failed Nero 8 trial installation had to do
something about not having the x86 redistributable installed on Vista x64
("sidebyside" errors on the registry)
:)

Hmm, good question.

I suppose, since this in large part consists of *.DLL's (and even a lot of
the *.EXE's are DLL's inside) and neither the OS nor the WoW subsystem is
supporting it on it's own - it would be logical to expect you'll need both.
But I know too little, more insight could easily reverse the logic.

Anyhow, I don't expect a trial installation to disturb anything, if you
remove it again, that support will be gone?

My first thoughts are that you should not need them. I have
never had to install them on any of my computers. Usually
any required programming components needed, C++ in this
case, are actually included in the program package itself;
either compiled into the program or as an accompanying .dll
library file.
