DirectX, Windows Visual C++ (2005, 2008?), Microsoft Games for Windows Live, etc


Everytime I install a game it seems to automatically install these things, even though they are already installed.

My question is, does it cause problems having these things installed over and over again? I think running DirectX checks to see if anything needs updating but not sure about Windows Visual C++. For example, on my computer it says the following are installed:

Are these all needed?

Maybe a little paranoid, but it seems a little odd.
