Simply because it causes way more false virus positives. I used to link the runtime in the earlier days.
Most users don't have to do a thing, as they already have the runtime installed. Unless you're talking about old Windows, of course.

Ok fair point. However, I ran into trouble when using this on an old version of Windows 10. Now I cannot recollect which version it was.
But the false virus positive
thing is news to me.
Anyway, thank you for explaining. 👍
Hi @8bitbubsy
First I must congratulate your for the brilliant and excellent work you are doing.
I am sure you may have looked at this. However, I want to understand your choice of linking against the DLL version of MSCRT instead of the static version.
I see that you have a text file explaining folks to download and install the
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
. However, you could avoid this by just linking againstLIBCMT.lib
(/MT
) in the VS Solution. This will allow you to get rid of the above text file and save your users one step.
