Easy install all Visual C Redistributables on Windows 10/11 x64

[Nisteo]

This simple script installs all Visual C Redistributables (2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015+ both 32 and 64 bit) on Windows 10/11 x64 via winget utility. Flag "--force" helps avoid a bug when version checker of winget doesn't see difference between 32 and 64 bit versions of packages.

Warning: some special editions of Windows (like Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC) are distributed without winget.

#include <String.au3>

$STR = "2005.x86,2005.x64,2008.x86,2008.x64,2010.x86,2010.x64,2012.x86,2012.x64,2013.x86,2013.x64,2015+.x86,2015+.x64"

$aVersion = _StringExplode($STR, ",")

For $i = 0 To UBound($aVersion) - 1
    Sleep(250)
    RunWait("winget install Microsoft.VCRedist." & $aVersion[$i] & " --force")
Next
