Thanks @Konform103
As long as the fact that x64 and x86 have the same version for a given year, and it doesn't necessarily matter that it matches the version you have in your screenshot, I think I'm OK here. It looks like the Apex Installer ships with redists for vc2010, 2012u4, and 2015.

Be careful when you install games/software they often install older versions of visualc++ in the background, it would be best to only install the latest versions for every year you can find them on site of microsoft. Also make sure .net framework is latest update

Sorry, should have clarified, I have 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2017 installed, and in the cases you highlighted, I have x86 and x64 with the same versions, just not the exact same that you have.
For a given C++ release, is it best practice to install the latest from that particular year? E.g., if some other game installs a version of 2013, is it safe to install the latest of 2013 and assume that game will work with it? Or does the particular version matter? I have no idea how VC++ guarantees their APIs match from year-to-year and version-to-version.
