Checklist

• I have checked for similar opened and closed issues.
• The issue title is in the format (<PACKAGENAME>) <ISSUE SUMMARY>.

Chocolatey Version

2.3.0

Chocolatey License

None

Package Version

14.0.33321

Current Behaviour

Certain packages need vcredist140 such as python, while other packages like winget requires microsoft-vclibs-140-00. However, if the current version of vcredist140 (14.40.33810) is already installed, microsoft-vclibs-140-00 fails because the VC libraries in it are older (14.0.33321).

Expected Behaviour

microsoft-vclibs-140-00 should be at version parity with vcredist140, or otherwise merged.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Ensure no VC 14 libraries are installed.
2. Install vcredist140 with Chocolatey.
3. Attempt to install microsoft-vclibs-140-00.

Environment

- Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22621.0
- PowerShell Version: 5.1.22621.3672

Thank you.

So the Microsoft,VCLibs AppX package isn't installed by vcredist.

microsoft-vclibs-140-00 should be at version parity with vcredist140, or otherwise merged.

Both packages install different things so this wouldn't make sense.

[pauby]

I just followed your Steps To Reproduce and I don't get any error:

Running Get-AppxPackage to find the Microsoft.VCLibs shows they are installed correctly.

So I believe you are running into another issue or the Steps To Reproduce are incorrect.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
