Software That Is Automatically Installed

.NET Framework

  • On most versions of Windows, the .NET Framework 4.7 is automatically installed.

Visual C++ Redistributable 2017

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.

DISCLAIMER

Certain third-party software and service releases (together, "Releases") may not be supported by Commvault. You are solely responsible for ensuring Commvault’s products and services are compatible with any such Releases.
