I am installing a 32bit app on 64 bit Windows 7. The app requires VC++2013 Redistributable to be installed and directs me to Microsoft Site.

There are two versions of VC++ 2013 Redistributable 32 & 64 bit. However what I need to know is what is really applicable for a 32 bit app on 64 bit Windows?

Thanks

The "bitness" of shared libraries (redistributables), such as those provided by Microsoft for Visual C++ (Visual Studio) compiled programs, needs to match the program "bitness", not the OS "bitness".

So a 32-bit program requires the 32-bit version of the redistributables and 64-bit program requires the 64-bit version of the redistributables.
