I have a C++ console application that I want to deploy using a vs2008 setup project. When I create the setup project and add the output from my console app, the setup project detects that it needs MSVCP90.dll and MSVCR90.dll. When I build the project, those two dlls are included in the .msi file as expected.
When I download and launch the installer, everything goes as expected and the console app and the dlls are unpacked into the proper directory on the local machine.
When I try and run the app, I get the following error:
Error 1721. There is a problem with
this Windows Installer package. A
program required for this install to
complete could not be run. Contact
your support personnel or package
vendor.
I've tried compiling the app with /MT and /MD neither one works.
When I run a dependency walker against the app, it reports that it needs MSVCP90.dll and MSVCR90.dll as expected.
Finally, if I set the installer to require the Visual C++ runtime libraries, it downloads them and everything works fine.
Obviously, I would like to avoid downloading the CRT libraries.
Thanks for any help,
Jon

I made an web server app, that should reside on amazon aws vitual machine with win10.
When i trying execute this app, it says that it missing dlls (MSVCP140, VCRUNTIME140, CONCRT140)
In the app i use cpprestsdk, cryptocpp, opencv.
I try to install various visual C++ redistributables, but its not gave the result.
Downloaded this dlls separately and put it into system32 foled ,but either no result.
When i put dlls in app folder it gave me the error that app was unable to start correctly (0xc0000007b).
Tryed to execute app builded with /MT flag (it actually dont remove all the dlls) and problem is still there
Amazon instance type is t2.micro
Currently, I am working on cloning the Cilantro github repository. I did using Cmake and also downloaded the required dependencies. The issue is I cannot run any files inside the project as well as newly created .cpp files for testing.
When I build the project it does builds successfully. but Whenever, I try to run by clicking in Local windows debugger I keep getting error unable to start program access denied.

I have a windows service project that I inherited and need to migrate it to a new server. I have made changes to some code, and so I created a new setup project in VS 2017. I added the .exe of the service to the set up package, and rebuilt both the service and the setup projects. When I run the .msi it seems to complete installation but when I look in the Windows Services list it's not there. What am I missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The installer probably didn't run the installutil.exe program.
You can do this manually by dropping to a command prompt then navigating to the location that the installer put the .exe file. From there run this:
installutil.exe myservice.exe
where myservice is the exe file you generated.
For more information:

Also, you might need to add the installutil.exe path. It's part of the .net framework and will be found in that install directory.
I have a small project taking advantage of the AWS SDK. The SDK is imported with nuget and tells me everything is fine. It compiles but as soon as I want to debug it the necessary aws libs can't be found. I certainly can put them into the folders manually but I assume this is not the correct way using nuget packages.
It is a dotnet core application. I had a dotnet framework application before and as I remember correctly there was not such a problem.
If you try to build it in release mode or publish it, the required dll files will automatically be copied. As far as the debugging is concerned, try adding the dll files in Global Assembly Cache;
navigate to the directory with gacutil.exe file and run this command:
gacutil.exe /i "path to assembly.dll"
I have created a Qt application with Mingw. The application runs properly on the development computer after copying the required DLL's to the directory. However, when deploying on external computers, the application does not run at all.
Update:
In addition, the application uses Sqlite3 via QtSql.
It's quite likely you're still missing some dll.
Check the Windows event log for any errors after running the application. (Administrative Tools->Event Viewer).
Try launching the application from a command prompt window.
Try Dependency Walker.
Another thought is some missing configuration file or registry settings.
Double check against the Qt docs for deploying Windows Qt applications.
