When installed in the latest version of Visual Studio 2019, you'll find the redistributable merge modules in %VCINSTALLDIR%Redist\MSVC\v142\MergeModules. The merge modules are installed by default as part of a C++ install in Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015. In Visual Studio 2019, these files are part of an optional installable component named C++ 2019 Redistributable MSMs in the Visual Studio Installer.
In Visual Studio 2015, these files can be found in %VCINSTALLDIR%redist\, where is the locale of the redistributable packages.Īnother deployment option is to use redistributable merge modules (. In both Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2019, they're also found in %VCToolsRedistDir%. In the latest version of Visual Studio 2019, you'll find the redistributable files in the %VCINSTALLDIR%Redist\MSVC\v142 folder.
