Mookeylama Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 after getting this new PC i installed tons of stuff as usual, but i just noticed that i've got (just parts i think) Visual Studio installed. the dates are around the same time i was installing all the new stuff, so maybe i thought it was Visual C++ or something. Studio is pretty big so if it's not needed for the game or any mods i'm gonna uninstall. so anyone know of any mods that use Studio?
rhowington Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I can't see where Visual Studio could or would be used by Skyrim. I haven't used it in a few years and then just to program in FoxPro.
Mookeylama Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 yeah i can't think of a need for it either. i kinda remember it being mentioned in context w/ skyrim. like maybe it was needed for a particular mod, or it caused problems ect. can't remember, so thought i'd ask here
t4t3rs Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Are you sure it's not a Visual C++ Redistributable package? Those are included as dependencies and are installed automatically for numerous pieces of software, e.g. many Steam games. Edited July 18, 2013 by t4t3rs
Mookeylama Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 yeah, as i stated in 1st post, maybe i originally installed Studio, thinking it was the C redist. i dunno. but i do have the c redist. so i'm gonna uninstall studio
aeropage Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I code in Visual Studio for work, and play lots of Skyrim mods. The two are unrelated for any player. Feel free to uninstall.

Scroll down to "Microsoft Visual Studio", right-click -> uninstall. yeah, it's under Programs but apparently that way only uninstalls a small bit of it...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12584912/how-to-completely-uninstall-visual-studioi'm seeing a lot of discussions like those. there's even a utility for just uninstalling VS but again, it only removes parts
