I have couple of questions
Q1:
Our product is 20 years old . We are having VC++ 2013 and VC++ 2019 redist as part of installer. Our application uses VS 2019 and v142 runtime. When i search in internet. Most of them said better to keep older version of VC++ redist as well. I am planning to go with VC++ 2019 redist because it supports VC++ 2015, 2017 and 2019. We have used VS 2019 IDE and v142 runtime. Let me know if you have different thoughts.
Q2:
We have multiple versions of redist package which we can install in the same box, For example VC++ 2019 version 14.1.x (x86) and VC++ 2019 version 14.2.x (x86). In this scenario,Can we have both version 14.1.x and 14.2.x or always should be latest. What are the benfits will be getting when I use latest. Please share the links it will be helpful.
Q3:
Do I need a restart after installing .NET Framework 4.8 and or VC++ redist package?
Please provide your valuable inputs on this.
