Windows: Missing VC runtime issue #417

Open coderofstuff opened 4 months ago

coderofstuff commented 4 months ago

Impact: All windows users without VCRedist installed

Users on windows encounter this upon running kaspad

Workaround for now is to install VCRedist following the doc at: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022

Possible solutions:

Update the GitHub action that builds kaspad in windows to ensure it builds a fully standalone app
Update README.md to include the VCRedist installation step
