From VDF version 8.x the Visual C++ 2010 and Visual C++ 2017 are
used so their VS C++ redistributables are necessary. The other
prerequisite is the .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.5 SP1 Framework.
Also, if you build AnyCPU applications then you need to create two
different setups to target x86 and x64 systems as there are no
"X86_X64" merge modules from Microsoft for VC++ 2010 & 2017 any
more. Note that you should not use the VDF dlls that are installed
in your system by our dev. setup to create your
setup/redistribution. Instead you should use the dlls inside the
AnyCPUSxS.zip or use the merge modules that we provide that contain
the correct VDF dlls.
Inside the redistribution package zip file that we provide from
our website (available only for the developers and not the
evaluators) there are the VDF merge modules and the necessary
Microsoft's Visual C++ runtimes also. These Microsoft's Visual C++
2010/2017 runtimes can be obtained from Microsoft website
also.
For more information and details on how to redistribute your
VDF-power application just follow the instructions in
readme_redis.htm /
readme_redis_vdray.htm documents that are
installed along with our dev. setup in a {programfiles}\VectorDraw
folder in your dev. machine after installing our setup.
