Should I install visual c++ redistributabale?

Hi,

I would like to deploy an application written in VS 2005 VB.
I need to install .NET FW 2 on the target computer.

I also use skincrafter light for skinning, they require visual c++ 2005 redistributabale on the target computer.

Should I install both .NET FW 2 and visual c++ 2005 redistributabale on the target computer or .NET FW 2 would be sufficient?

Is there any significance to Service Pack?

Thanks.

you should setup a test bed machine ;)

*install the frame work
*run the app (if it doesnt fall over dont proceed to next step)
* install c++ redis

I made tests on several PCs and it works without visual c++ 2005 redistributable.
However, on their forum they recommend to distribute visual c++ 2005 redistributable and they don't remind .NET FW 2.

My question is: Whether the .NET FW 2 includes visual c++ 2005 redistributable?

I didn't find any information about it in the WEB.
