We have VC++ projects in VS 2008 and Wpf Projects in 2010. We want to migrate both of them to Visual Studio 2015.
The biggest problem we face, while a new user needed to install our software is, he need to install the pre-requisite of installing VC++ Redistributable Package, which requires Administrator rights. Then he need to install our application via clickonce server.
We want to ease this part - installing VC++ Redistributable Package.
Is the new 2015 VC++ Redistributable can be installed in my application path, without requiring administrator rights? I could not the spot the link to download VS 2015 VC++ R P link - please provide.
I got the suggestion of using /MT (linking statically) from below link, but we want the application to be statble (as we also dispatch patches), we don't want a library conflict.
Please, help.
I believe no, you can't do that. Read this article at VC++ team blog: Introducing the Universal CRT, where James McNellis said:
App-local deployment of the Universal CRT is not supported.
