             Summary: MSVCR should be ditributed with procrun
                 Key: DAEMON-279
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-279
             Project: Commons Daemon
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Procrun
    Affects Versions: 1.0.13
            Reporter: Ales Dolecek
            Priority: Minor


Windows OS does not by default include MSVCR library. And it is not system 
library and Miscrosoft does not provide it as "standalone" instalation. 
According to Microsoft knowledgebas it is responsibility of the application 
authors to distribute the DLL with their product: 
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326922/en

The binary distribution of procrun shall therefore include this file. While 
many systems already include this somewhere on PATH it is not required. And 
users often download the DLL from various sites in Internet which leads to 
security risks.

If the omission of the DLL is deliberate then you shall document it along with 
some trusted source where the users might get the library.
