Hi there, Andrew.

 

Please note that QuickBooks Desktop automatically installs the appropriate version of Visual C++ on your computer. The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package is a library file necessary for running applications developed with Visual C++.

 

However, recommending the installation or reinstallation of any application components is beyond our scope and I suggest reaching out to your computers manufacturer for guidance.

 

On top of that, we have some articles for you to check what your computer needs for the best experience in QuickBooks Desktop:

 

If you still need further assistance, please don't hesitate to leave a post below.

I recommend leaving those old files on the server. QB is built with some traditional approaches. One of them is that you still need older versions of some Windows components to run QB Desktop 2024.
