C9 and C++ redistributables

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

It seems to me that the C9 (and C7, C8, etc) installers keep telling me
that the C++ (2005, 2008) redistributables need to be installed, even if
I have already installed them with a previous C7/8/9 install. Is this
correct observation? I'm just curious as it smells like the distro's
haven't been installed since it keeps asking me;) I know the IDE works
without any problems so it's not looking for those old files (maybe
because I have VS 2005/8/10 installed?)

I'm rebuilding my old laptop and the installation of the distro's is
failing on it, but it is busy with some other things, so I'm not
panicking yet;)

Best regards,

Yes and no <g>. It depends on your Clarion version and build number. You
need specific C++ 2005/2008 redistributables for C9.x. But old Clarion 7
and 8 installs (and Clarion 9 installs older than September 2013) do *not*
support the new required redistributables (security updates).

You can check the status for your C9.1 environment with Clarion Manager. It
displays the C++ 2005/2008 redist status.

Thanks for the clarification. I installed something recently that
required VC++ 2010 redistribution which I haven't seen required before.

I'm just thinking about this as I have some VC dlls that I'll need to
distribute/redistribute and need to figure out what I need to include in
the SB script.
