Add VisualCppRedist AIO #24

Closed JonathanPitre closed 2 years ago

JonathanPitre commented 2 years ago

Please consider adding VisualCppRedist AIO. It's a neat visual c++ runtimes installer that contains all runtimes ever released, even the legacy visuual basic ones.

Interesting, never heard of this. Not sure I would personally trust it, I tend to stick to using Aaron Parker's VCRedist module to obtain the latest 2015-2019 redist and the rest are legacy and static.

I'd be happy to add it, however Evergreen is much better suited to this as it has built in functions for grabbing apps from GitHub. I've submitted a couple of PRs for these myself - just copy/rename the manifest and ps1 for Audacity and change the path of the GitHub repo etc and that's pretty much all you need to do!

Well this one is more complete since it contains legacy runtimes as well and it's more flexible in terms of silent switches. I've been using for years and it's awesome. I would look into submitting a PR to Evergreen, thank you.
