QID 106116: EOL/Obsolete Software: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package Detected

The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2010 installed.

The Host is running Microsoft VC++ 2010 Redistributable which is not supported by Microsoft anymore, as it ended by Jul 14, 2020.

QID Detection Logic (authenticated):
This QID checks if VC++ 2010 Redistributable Package is installed or not by checking the presence of 'msdia100.dll' file.

NOTE: This detection does not differentiate if the software is installed directly or shipped with other microsoft product.

The system is at high risk of being exposed to security vulnerabilities. Since the vendor no longer provides updates, obsolete software is more vulnerable to viruses and other attacks.
