Nope. Those are intended for installation on a system where there's no Intel compiler installed in order to satisfy the run-time library dependencies of an application executable built using the Intel compilers.The typicalapplication of these is one builds their application using the Intel compiler and then makes the application executable available to others to run on their system (where there's no Intel compiler). Persons wanting to use the application would install the app and the Intel redistributable libraries in order to run the application executable.

The Redistributable Libraries avoid making others also purchase the Intel compiler to run the application, or the provider of the app shipping the required Intel run-time libraries the app depends on.
