--- Comment #23 from Rainer Schuetze <r.sagita...@gmx.de> --- >Then in the case where it can't find the DLL, we could put up an error > message or error window a message like: > "This binary requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable > package. Please install it to continue." This is possible with delayed loaded DLLs. An error could be issued at startup as in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/loading-all-imports-for-a-delay-loaded-dll?view=vs-2017 The downside is that the necessary lib implementing this functionality (delayimp.lib) comes with VC only, so you can also just use the static libraries to begin with. > I think this is a doc issue. I agree, lets improve the documentation and move on. --
