Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library

It has sporadically popped up on my W7 computer a few times & I'd like to know why.

Any idea (s) ?

Simple - - MS Software is a moving target. I'll offer my config at the moment:
It was a chore get the right xyz_vc{8,9,...12}.dll to get MySQL integrated with PHP.

The *_vc{8,9,...12}.dll are suggesting the VERSION OF THE C++ COMPILER used to create the dll [omg, what a mess]. Each compiler has its own redistributable and when you have software build that way, there's not choice - - put up with it or punt the product.

Ok, I'll put up with it. It has sometimes popped up while playing tunes using VLC but other times it has just popped up. Thank you, I'll put up with it.
