Visual C++ Installation Guide

If you’re experiencing issues upgrading to the latest version of B2B Soft POS, it may be due to a missing or outdated Windows component: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. This is not part of our POS software, but it’s a necessary Windows system component that enables B2B Soft POS to function properly.

⚠️ Important: You must have admin rights on your PC to install or update this component.

 

How to Check if It’s Already Installed:
