Hi,

We have tested a Scenario where we just installed a new windows server 2012 and there was VC++ 2005 and 2008 installed.

I removed both components and installed SQL 2012 and found the VC++ 2005 and 2008 installed again.

Then removed both components and the next day I found the components re-installed automatically after removal.

Is there a recovery point for those components or does SQL 2012 require VC++ 2005 or 2008 ?

The reason for removal is that MS does not support the VC++ 2005 and 2008 anymore as they are out of support components and doesn't send any new security fixes for them.
