Microsoft Visual C++

W7 Home Premium 64-Bit.
Rightly or wrongly, I have no Microsoft Visual C++ appearing in Programs & Features.
What do I need, if any. Would installing the lastest C++ from the MS Catalogue fix all.
Alternatively, is this a complex issue. I've yet to see any issues developing out of no MS C++, or I might not have spotted anything yet.

What does MS C++ do, any info would be appreciated.

HI.
What I'd really like is, someone who has recently had occasion to reload W7 64 Home Premium, to have a look in Programs & Features, and nominate the Microsoft Visual C++ on view.

Programs that require C++ will install them.  If you don't have any Microsoft Visual C++ versions installed your machine doesn't require them.
