What is the latest version of the VC Redistributables merge modules? Where to get them?


We are using Visual Studio 2022, installing the workload Desktop development with C++. Sadly, this does not seems to provide the MSVC Redist merge modules (.msm files) anymore.

The question this raises is twofold:


For reference, in addition to installing the default components of the Desktop development with C++ workload, we tried the following components:


Solution

  • It seems the MSM cannot be installed via workloads anymore (except for MSVC v141 build tools).

    They can be installed by going to the Individual components tab, then searching "msm" in the search. This brings up C++ 2022 Redistributables MSMs component.

    Installing this component has added a MergeModules subfolder to each version folder present in VC/Redist/MSVC. From browsing the latest version, it seems that the latest version of the redistributable merge modules is VC143.
