Hello!
I wanted to confirm I picked the correct subject. After reinstalling my operating system (Windows 10 Pro) and installing Apex Legends, I encountered an error when trying to launch the game. I looked online and discovered I need to download Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2019 and DirectX myself. At first, this seemed odd, but it made sense once I remembered that before, Steam would automatically install these components for Apex games. This time, I installed Apex first.

My questions are:
1) What's the distinction between DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer and DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)?
2) Do they share any similarities? Is one included in the other?
3) How can I check if I've already installed them? If I run their installer again, will it confirm that it's already installed and only repair DirectX?
4) If I type "dxdiag" in the Run Box, I see DirectX 12 listed—it's clear since it comes with Windows 10. So these two types of DirectX seem to be additional, as noted on the official site: "Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows OS in any way." Am I correct?
5) Should I install both?

Thank you for your time and please let me know if I made any mistakes in grammar.
