Miscellaneous
.NET Framework
.NET Framework 4.0 is automatically installed. Note that .NET Framework 4.0 can co-exist with other versions of this software.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 is Automatically Installed
Starting in Service Pack 17, the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (vcredist2017.exe) is automatically installed.
If a computer does not have the most recent Windows updates, then the installation of Universal C Runtime, as part of the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017, fails. To prevent the installation failure, install the following Windows updates:
-
KB2919355
-
KB2939087
-
KB2975061
-
KB2999226
Updates are not required on the most recent Windows operating system versions, such as Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows Server 2016, because the Universal C Runtime is already installed on those versions.
