Description

I have Windows Desktop Runtimes 6.0.22 & 7.0.11 installed on Windows 10, and I discovered that there are 8 (eight!) msi installers, (two by version, and each one is duplicated), that are stored on various folders on the C: drive, bloating the disk for some reasons:

Is it absolutely necessary ?
