- Support for Visual Studio 2015 ended on October 15, 2025. Because support for the Visual C++ Redistributable is connected to the version of Visual Studio in which it first ships, support for Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (version 14.0.24212) also ended October 15, 2025. See [Visual Studio 2015 (VC++ 14.0)](#visual-studio-2015-vc-140-no-longer-supported) section below for the latest available version.<br/>

As of the time Visual Studio 2015 support ended, the v14 runtime is binary compatible with applications created with the VS 2015 MSVC Build Tools. Over time, Microsoft may no longer support that compatibility. Because Visual Studio 2015 is out of support, our guidance is that you update your projects to build with a supported MSVC Build Tools. If you are statically linking the Visual Studio 2015 C++ runtime, we recommend updating to a supported version.

When Visual Studio 2015 support ended, the v14 runtime was binary compatible with applications built using the VS 2015 MSVC Build Tools. Since VS 2015 is no longer supported, we recommend updating your projects to use a supported MSVC Build Tools version and the latest v14 runtime.

- The Visual C++ Redistributable supports several command-line options. For more information, see [Command-line options for the Redistributable packages](./redistributing-visual-cpp-files.md#command-line-options-for-the-redistributable-packages).
