Missing Visual C++ Redistributable as Prerequisites #193

Closed hannadeng closed 2 years ago

hannadeng commented 2 years ago

Failed to launch Bot Framework Composer without Visual C++ Redistributable, getting below error. Found the same issue at https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-Composer/issues/7964. After vc_redist.x64.exe package installed, the issue solved.

Suggest adding vc_redist.x64.exe as a prerequisite in this article.

Hey @hannadeng, thanks for reaching out.

It seems Composer automatically installs vc_redist.x64.exe package.

Also, according to Redistributing Visual C++ Files documentation, the redistributable packages are installed by Visual Studio as well.

Perhaps if it fails to launch Bot Framework Composer without Visual C++ Redistributable, we can add a note in the prerequisite to install the vc_redist.x64.exe package?

#

Proposing the following changes:

In some environments, Bot Framework Composer may not work correctly if Redistributing Visual C++ files have not been installed. Specifically, Bot Composer may not start or get stuck on the "Starting Server" message.

In this case, please install additional Visual C++ redistributable files to ensure that Composer starts successfully.

@ramfattah Agree. It would be good adding the changes.
