Installation instructions of Microsoft© Visual C++ 2013 RedistributableWhy?

Hexagon toolchain 7.2.x requires both 32 and 64 bit Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable.

Where do I get the redistributable package?

The Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributables can be downloaded from the following location:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Note:

1.      At present, the installer wrongly mentions “Microsoft Visual C++ 2012”. It should have been “Microsoft Visual C++ 2013”

2.      Both x86 and x64 packages should be installed

How?Step 1 – Download the MSVC Redistributable

Go to the following site:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Choose the Download button which will take you to the download selection  

Step 2 – Select the files to be downloaded.

Select the vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe and choose the Next button.

Step 3 – Install the packages.

1.      Wait till both of the files have been completely downloaded.

2.      Follow the instructions provided in Microsoft website to install both the packages.

This will place the necessary dlls into the C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folders.
