VS2013 vc_redist_x86.exe missing mfc120u.dll

[rtischer8277]

I get this message: '...mfc120u.dll is missing...'.

My app is running under Visual Studio 13 on the Windows 8.0 platform. Under Main Setup File I included this:
D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\1033\vcredist_x86.exe

But when I install the .msi file on another machine, it gives me the mfc12u.dll file missing. I thought the purpose of the redistribs was to bundle the necessary dlls. No?

Hello,

This may happens if the Visual C++ is not installed on the target machine.
In order to install it, you can go in the “Prerequisites” page and use the [ New Package Prerequisite ] toolbar button. You will be prompted to pick the prerequisite setup files.

Please take a take a look on our Add prerequisites tutorial which may be useful to you.

If you need any help, please let us know.

Best regards,

Hi

... My app is running under Visual Studio 13 on the Windows 8.0 platform.

Note that Advanced Installer already has predefined prerequisites for Visual C++ redistributables. More specifically, predefined prerequisites for Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 were added in Advanced Installer version 10.7, released on November 11th, 2013.

Best regards
