Hey everyone, 
 
Jumping in here to clarify a few comments on this topic. 
 
Reinstalling VC++ is not harmful to your PC and is a valid troubleshooting step to do and something we do recommend that you do if you have an issue with games. 
 
If the program is not installed then the game won't run as they are a needed program to run games with. 
 
If you have any questions let me know.
