What is the difference between a microsoft visual c redistributable package and a runtime package?

c++, runtime

Solution

Its the redistributable package which include the run time. And at some places its called Runtime Redistributable.

The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2010 installed. This package installs runtime components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP and MSDIA libraries.
