does it really matter that much, it is only a first time install to make sure your game has the best possible drivers for it to run

YOU'RE NOT INSTALLING C++, you're only added libraries from the game to the C++ base in Windows, and yes, THAT'S NECESARY, but if you installed with crysis 3 and now you're installing Age of Empires 3, isnt so much.
Trust me, I'm engineer :)

Ok, fair enough. This seems legit.
"The code to check correctly and repair broken installs all exists in the installer and running it is a guarantee that the correct binaries will exist when you run the game and prevents lots of bad cases where a game would fail to launch with an obscure error if a windows install was either missing the correct version or somehow corrupted in the past."
Your work here is done my friend.

I don't think it is... If it is, HOW THE HELL DO I DO IT!? I am sick and tired of installing DirectX 11 every time I install a game...

Go to your Steam install folder, then common>steamapps>the specific game you want, look for installscript.vdf, open in notepad, erase everything, save, set it as read only, and now it won't do first time setup for that specific game.

Is it really necessary to install Visual C++, Direct X and all that crap, every fucking time I run for the first time a game? Its really annoying and I'm kind of sick of it.
Is there a way to make steam NOT to do that anymore?
