Resolving Microsoft Visual C++ Errors in Manor Lords

[Matt (Hooded Horse)]

Q: Why does Manor Lords require Microsoft Visual C++?
A: Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes are required because Unreal Engine 5.4 and 5.5 use them. These runtimes help the system operate the game, apply changes, and manage certain saves.

Q: How do I check if I have the necessary Visual C++ versions installed?
A: Open "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel (or "Apps and Features" in Windows 10/11). You should see multiple C++ installations, typically in both X86 (32-bit) and X64 (64-bit) versions. Most users on Windows 10/11 need the X64 versions, including:

• 2 for 2005
  
• 2 for 2008
  
• 1 for 2010
  
• 1 for 2012
  
• 2 for 2013
  
• 2 for 2015-2022

To check via Run, press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl, and hit Enter.
Q: Where can I download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ runtimes?
A: You can find the latest supported versions here:
🔗 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables[learn.microsoft.com]
Before installing, right-click the installer and select "Run this program as an Administrator."

Q: Are older versions of Visual C++ still supported?
A: Versions from 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2013 are no longer supported. However, some older applications may still require them, and multiple versions can coexist without conflict.

Q: Which version should I install for Windows 10/11?
A: Download the X64 version labeled VC_redist.x64.exe. Once downloaded, right-click the file and select "Run as Administrator."
