Welcome to the AG Redist Installer Script! This tool is designed to handle those pesky dependencies like Visual C++ and DirectX that no one really wants to think about. Whether you’re setting up a fresh gaming rig or reformatting yet another Windows machine, this script does the dirty work so you don’t have to. And yes, it probably deserves a medal.
- Auto Architecture Detection 🕵️: Can’t remember if you're on x86 or x64? Don’t sweat it—this script already knows.
- Embedded & Online JSON Magic 🌐: It has an embedded list of download URLs, plus it checks our GitHub for fresh JSON data—because even scripts need a little vitamin D.
- Registry Deep Dives 🗄️: Ever wish software could check the registry before installing itself? Well, wish granted. No duplicate installs here.
- Logging, Like a Real Grown-Up App 📜: Logs every step in
redist_installer.logso you can see exactly what went wrong (or went perfectly, let’s be optimistic). - Retry & Timeout 🔄: Three retries and a timeout—because even the internet messes up sometimes.
- Restart Reminder 🔔: Don’t worry, it’ll remind you to restart if things actually got installed. You’re welcome.
- Download the
.exefile: Go to the Releases section and grab the latest executable. - Run it with Admin Privileges (Yes, we know—scary admin prompt, but you’ll need it).
- Confirm Your Architecture: It detects x86 or x64 automatically. Feeling rebellious? It’ll even let you change it.
- Let It Do Its Thing: The installer checks if you already have the redistributables. If not, it’ll grab and install them while you sit back, relax, and maybe grab a coffee.
- Restart Prompt: Installed something? Expect a friendly reminder to restart your system. Or don’t. Live dangerously.
- Visual C++ Redistributables (2005, 2008): Because some programs insist they can’t live without them.
- DirectX End-User Runtime: Games be like, “Where’s my DirectX?” Here it is, in all its ancient glory.
No promises, no refunds, and absolutely no apologies if you use this wrong. The AG Redist Installer is provided "as-is." It does what it says, but beyond that, you’re on your own, buddy.
Free to use, slightly less free to complain about. But hey, it works. Enjoy!
