Printer N/A

Reproduction steps

  1. Installed Cura, with C++ redis checked.
  2. Cura launches with an error

Screenshot(s) Gives an error saying it is unable to find a DLL and describes a file under C:\Users\Brunto\etc.etc.etc.

Actual results Doesn't Launch Cura

Expected results Cura should launch

Project file N/A

Log file N/A

Additional information Installing the newest VC package from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 fixes the issue on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

I believe the included redistributable package in the installer is outdated and should be updated to the above.

Understood. I'll look into this when I next make a release.

Hi, the latest release now contains the more recent vcredist file.
