Microsoft security advisory: Availability of SHA-2 code signing support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: March 10, 2015 1.0.5

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2026 installs run-time components of Visual C++ libraries. These components are required to run C++ applications that are developed using Visual Studio 2015-2026 and link dynamically to Visual C++ libraries. The packages can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio 2015-2026 installed. These packages also install run-time components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP libraries. The Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2026 consists of files vcruntime140.dll, msvcp140.dll, vcomp140.dll, vcamp140.dll, mfc140.dll and other. ## Notes - [Supported Operating Systems](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/system-requirements#microsoft-visual-c-2015-2019-redistributable-system-requirements): Windows 10, Windows 8.1 / Server 2012 R2 (with KB2919355), Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012, Windows 7 SP1 (with KB3033929) / Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Vista SP2 / Server 2008 SP2, Windows XP SP3 / Windows Server 2003 SP2 - On some systems, if KB2999226 is installed as a dependency of this package, the computer may need to be restarted before the installation of this package will succeed. - **If the package is out of date please check [Version History](#versionhistory) for the latest submitted version. If you have a question, please ask it in [Chocolatey Community Package Discussions](https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/discussions) or raise an issue on the [Chocolatey Community Packages Repository](https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/issues) if you have problems with the package. Disqus comments will generally not be responded to.**

### Overview Free, full-featured and extensible tool for students, open-source and individual developers. To find out what's new or to see the known issues, see the [Visual Studio 2017 Release Notes](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes). [System requirements](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/productinfo/vs2017-system-requirements-vs) ### Customizations and Optional features By default, the package installs only the bare minimum required (the Core Editor workload). The easiest way to add more development features is to use the workload packages listed in the Release Notes section. All package parameters are passed to the Visual Studio installer, enabling full customization of the installation. The possible parameters are [described here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/use-command-line-parameters-to-install-visual-studio?view=vs-2017). The package passes `--norestart --wait` by default, and `--quiet`, unless `--passive` is specified in the package parameters. After installing the package, more features can also be added by launching the Visual Studio Installer application from the Start Menu. The language of the installed software can be controlled using the package parameter `--locale language`. The list of languages is [presented here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/use-command-line-parameters-to-install-visual-studio?view=vs-2017#list-of-language-locales). By default, the operating system display language is used. #### Full installation This command will install Visual Studio with all available workloads and optional components, display progress during the installation and specify the English language regardless of operating system settings: choco install visualstudio2017community --package-parameters "--allWorkloads --includeRecommended --includeOptional --passive --locale en-US" [More package parameter examples](https://github.com/jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages/blob/master/chocolatey-visualstudio.extension/EXAMPLES.md) ### Notes A reboot may be required after (or even _before_) installing/uninstalling this package. If control over reboots is required, it is advisable to install the dependencies (esp. dotnet4.6.2 or later) first, perform a reboot if necessary, and then install this package. Some parameters, including `--allWorkloads`, `--includeRecommended` and `--includeOptional`, are only valid during the initial installation of Visual Studio and may cause failures if used during upgrade. For reliability, it is recommended to avoid using these parameters and install workloads using the workload packages listed in the Release Notes section.
