MSVCR120.dll missing #6

Closed vutrulavotann closed 7 years ago

vutrulavotann commented 7 years ago

I got this message when "MSVCR120.dll missing". Could you please upload the version without depend on this dll ?

To quote the readme: "the bundled certutil.exe might require vcredist 12.0/2013 32bit"

vutrulavotann commented 7 years ago

Thank you for replying, is there anyway that I can build it to run without vcredist 12.0 ?

AFAIK the software is written in VC++, so the runtime has to be present for it to run. You might be able to bundle the runtime into the .exe or throw the DLLs in the same directory, however this way it will get vastly bigger and you do not get automatic updates - as such possibly spreading files with known security issues. Since VCRedist is a prerequisite for a lot of other software you might just want to (silently) install it before running the binary.

I got it, thank you :)
