Disable installing redist apps in Steam registry

Posted under Tweaks by Callisto Site owner

This registry tweak disables the automatic installation of several redist packages when installing games on Steam.

These include: .NET framework, DirectX, OpenAL, PhysX and Visual C++ runtimes.

This will speed up installation of Steam games. But take note, if you do not have these frameworks installed, some games might not run.
