    Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable installs run-time components of Visual C++ libraries. These components are required to run C++ applications that are developed using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 RC and link dynamically to Visual C++ libraries. The packages can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio 2015 installed. These packages also install run-time components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP libraries. Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable includes bug fixes to the runtime DLLs and also the latest versions for KB 2999226. To find out what's new in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 RC, see the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 RC Release Notes. For a list of fixed bugs and known issues, see the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 RC MSDN Article.
