Where are the Microsoft Visual C 2015-2022 Redistributable x64 packages installed

Question

Visual C++ 2015-2022 is installed, and I know this because:

A. It's listed under Apps & Features (Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64) - 14.31.31103).

B. I see it in HKEY LOCAL MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeMicrosoftVisualStudio14.0VCRuntimesX64 in the registry.

However, percent VCINSTALLDIR percent is not set on my path, and I am unable to locate the dlls.

To have this rectified, I need to be very detailed with my IT department.

I'd want to add the dll to the system path, but first I need to locate it!

I was able to locate VC redist.x64.exe in C:ProgramDataPackage Cache2aaf1df0-eb13-4099-9992-962bb4e596d1, but I believe that is unrelated to the installation.

Any assistance is much appreciated!

They are, in my opinion, at their best.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Redist\MSVC

It's worth noting that % VCINSTALLDIR% only works in the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt. That may be found on your start menu under the Visual Studio XXXX folder, or it can be started immediately from within Visual Studio. After that, you can enter.

cd %VCINSTALLDIR%

in the terminal to get where the directory is located on your machine.
