I am a bit confused with which version of the MSVC Redistributables for Visual Studio 2013 I need to include with my installer when people install my application.

I have been including and auto-installing what I thought was the correct vcredist_x64.exe, but upon installation on a brand new Win10 box, it needed a different vcredist_x64.exe.

How do I know which is the correct redistributable for my developed-with-visual-studio-2013 application when there are multiple versions of the x64 vcredist_x64.exe?

I also noticed that there is "update 5" for visual studio 2013 - if I install this update, does that change the redistributable I need to include in my installer?

Use the one you develop with. I mean if you built your code with update5 use that. My installer generation just grabs the redistributable from the visual studio install directly. - drescherjm

This is the official page where you can download the latest redistributable: Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013. There is also Redist directory with appropriate installers somewhere inside Visual Studio 2013 installation directory.

It is possible that you had redist for older version of VS2013 that you used for building your application.
