You fail to understand what people try to explain to you. 1. VC++ 2008 x86 9.0.30729.6161 does not exist as a redistributable package, so we need to distribute what is available, VC++ 2008 x86 9.0.30729.4148 that is. 2. If you have both 9.0.30729.6161 and 9.0.30729.4148 installed, then programs will use the newer version. 3. Security bug was in MFC which LibreOffice does not use. So in my eyes this is very minor issue, but if anybody wants to improve, good patches are welcome. http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/libs-core/desktop/win32/source/setup/setup.cpp Currently we install start the VC++ 2008 redistributable 9.0.30729.4148 installer, if it is not installed and skip the installation, if it is installed. It not as bullet-proof as it could be, because some applications start the vcredist installer regardless what is installed on the system. The rational is that it is better to always (re)install these files, because previous installation can be broken, and the application will not run without them.
