1263863 2012-03-08 19:35:00 See the snip that shows all the bits of Microsoft C++ Redistributable. I can't believe I need all of these. How do I decide what bits I can uninstall? Tony (4941)

1263866 2012-03-08 19:45:00 Well, yes I understand that as a general principle, but that list looks to me like a series of cumulative updates, which made me think that maybe I could get rid of the earlier ones - is that not true? Tony (4941)

No. Bloat accumulates.
Which is why SPs are better.
