Installer (26-11-2013) complains about missing msvcp110.dll

[Killerbee]

The new installer (26-11-2013) requires the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 package (vcredist_x86.exe)
The English version (x86) can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679

Windows 7.

this would be your system specifically having this issue like mentioned here or reported in many other forums over the internet.

There seems to be a piece of software in your OS which causing this.
So this is not a problem with our installer
-thx-

I'm going to compile it with VS2010, maybe that fixes the problem. Will report back.

I am not the expert here but I think it's the other way around.

On a fresh install of Windows 7, msvcp110.dll is missing. This dll is part of the Visual C++ redist 2012 package. There are some software programs (such as Lightroom or Photoshop) who require this package, and install it (in the background). So the end user will not notice it.

There are three possibilies here:
1) Compile the xbian installler static (instead of dynamic). Disadvantage .exe becomes bigger.
2) Create a "Xbian installer" installer who installs the Visual C++ redist 2012 package automatically.
3) Show a link where the end user can download the Visual C++ redist 2012 package.

Recompile using VC2010 will probably not solve the issue because than the end user requires to install the Visual C++ redist 2010 package. (which is more common by the way)
Maybe a good option 4.

As I said before I am not the expert here.

@Killerbee thanks for your input here, lets see and wait for @Koenkk when he makes compile new installer
-thx-

[Koenkk]

Can you please test this version: http://dikonist.asuscomm.com:82/XBian-installer-2010.zip (the xbian installer is already compiled static).

Now it depends on the MSVCP100.dll. Witch is part of the Visual C++ redist 2010 package.
When I install the Visual C++ redist 2010 package; Installer works. When removed Xbian-installer will not start (off course).

If you want you can check this by using the dependency walker dependency walker

I got stuck on this one today and went round and round the loop trying to install msvcp110.dll unsuccessfully. Then suddenly I noticed it saying msvcR110.dll was missing, so I installed that dll ("R" not "P") and everything worked.

I think the error message has a typo????

Thats why it's not a good idea to include dll's in the installer package.
The Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 20xx package contains more dll's

You can use the dependency walker to check what dll's are required by the Xbian-installer.

I would recommend to compile the installer in VC2010 and mention in the download section that the The Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2010 package from Microsoft is required (provide a download link)

9/10 the package has been been installed already by any other software package.

FYI - Latest exe from http://www.xbian.org - Installer is invalid on XP.

Not a valid Win32 application.
