    Hi,

    Do Visual C++ Redistributable packages with SP1 supersede their correspondent packages without SP1? For example, does this package supersede this one? I'm not talking about different versions or WinSxS.

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    In the case of installing the VS 2010 RTM Redistributable packages it shouldn’t really do anything if you already have VS 2010 SP1 Redistributable packages installed since they install the same files in the same place. ). I believe the way the SP1 installer works that if you don’t have the RTM redists installed, it still has the whole payload to install the required files to keep you in an up to date state.
