that ...

After installing the new version ( Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages ) ...

Can the old version be deleted?

.

Yes, you can uninstall the older version (eg. 9.0.30729.17, after installing the newer one - 9.0.30729.6161).

I'm aware of that. Sometimes version on winget is newer than mentioned on Microsoft documentation.

However, in this case 14.40.33617.1 is pre-release, as can be readen on microsoft/winget-pkgs#144318
14.38.33135 is still lastest stable release.

Thanks Chuck for the info. Why do MS put pre-release software on winget? They make no mention of this when it’s listed or updated?

After reading the link you posted, it appears that others also question why winget is installing prerelease software. It might have been a mistake apparently.

那 ...
安裝新版本（Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages）後...
舊版可以刪除嗎？
。

是的，您可以卸載舊版本（例如，在安裝新版本 - 9.0.30729.6161 後，卸載舊版本 9.0.30729.17）。

Also, ask ...

After ( Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 ) installation ...

( Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 )( Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 )( Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 )( Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 )( Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 ) ← Which ones can be deleted?

The best solution is to not uninstall any of these, because many installed programs may depends on them.

Try this: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/visual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one/

  1. Much better for fresh OS ( 1 click ) ie: temporarily disable UAC
  2. Install before Drivers ( AMD for one ) and tools or starting Steam games and they will not add their old versions.

Why does Steam use 2015-2022 in single packages and why don't they update their VC+ 2013 which is an old version.
