@Sin-Shadow-Fox, there's some explanation at Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable latest supported downloads. The page says "Many applications built using Microsoft C and C++ tools require these libraries"; the .NET Runtime is built for Windows using those tools. |

While I get what your saying, I don't understand how that explains the comment I linked to. It sounds like someone managed to get .net 8 to run on windows 7 and I'd really like to figure out how. |

The comment says
and the screen shot shows only .NET 7 on Windows 7, so I'm not sure they managed to run .NET 8 on Windows 7. |

Neither am I but I can't exactly ask either of them how things went as dotnet locked that whole thread and limited conversation to collaborators and I don't have the permission to re-open it (or know how to become a collaborator). |

.NET 8 is unsupported on Windows 7. .NET 8 is not actively blocked from running on Windows 7. Some .NET 8 apps will run on Windows 7, some .NET 8 apps are not going to run. YMMV. |

Well I'm not asking if .NET 8 is supported on windows 7. |

P.S. request to un-close my issue as my question wasn't answered yet. |

Yes, they got it working for their app by installing the vc_redist. The comment is very clear about that. I tried to explain why it may not be sufficient for the app that you are trying to run.
I am going to convert this to a discussion. |

Whoever marked jkotas's comment as the answer, please keep in mind that my question is NOT "is .NET 8 supported in windows 7". Please reread the post and subsequent comments carefully. |
