Upgrade the PI Interface Configuration Utility to use only the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable
The PI Interface Configuration Utility install kit currently includes both the 2012 and the 2019 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. Please upgrade the PI Interface Configuration Utility so that it requires only the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable. This will reduce the size of the install kit and make it faster to download and install.
Even though PI Interfaces are slowly being phased out in favour of PI Connectors, OSIsoft is still releasing new PI Interfaces, and so the PI Interface Configuration Utility will still be around for a long time and it will still be worthwhile to optimize it.

The 2015-2019 Redistributable is now the 2015-2022 Redistributable.

This suggestion is intended as a short-term improvement to the PI Interface Configuration Utility. A much longer-term improvement would be to make it web-based and not depend on the PI Module Database.
