VCRuntime dll not found

Question

I had a 32-bit application which i migrated to 64 bit application, but I get the VCRuntime140_1.dll not found error, installing visual c++ x64 redist solved it but for 32-bit application, i didnt have to install visual c++ x86 separately(I checked visual c++ x86 was not installed).Any reason for this

Hi,

For static linking, the C++ runtime library files needed to run the program are embedded directly into the executable during compilation. Therefore, there is no need to rely on external VC++ runtime libraries when running on the target system.

Your x64 program uses the dynamic runtime VCRuntime140_1.dll, which requires the appropriate version of the runtime to be installed on the user's computer in advance.

Best regards,
