Answer:

Some programs require Microsoft Visual Studios C++ to be installed along with the installation of the desired program. The required files can be found in the .ISO of the folder named Setup>ISSetupPrerequisites. This may cause issues on install because not only will it install its own version but if two of the same versions are on the system, it will fail. There is an option to skip or continue with the instillation, but the program will not work successfully. Here are the versions of Microsoft Visual C++ that currently come with the iFIX 5.9 exe upon install. Remember to choose the correct version number when working with this program.

  • Microsoft Visual Studios C++ 2013 Redistribution Pack x64 version 12.0.30501

  • Microsoft Visual Studios C++ 2013 Redistribution Pack x86 version 12.0.30501

  • Microsoft Visual Studios C++ 2015 Redistribution Pack x64 version 14.0.24215

  • Microsoft Visual Studios C++ 2015 Redistribution Pack x86 version 14.0.24215

If iFIX needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled, these programs will need to be deleted to completely remove the iFIX. For future reference, it is encouraged that before uninstalling the Microsoft Visual Studios C++ programs, check other programs and processes on the system to make sure they aren’t using them. Deleting files that are dependent on Microsoft Visual Studios C++ can cause failures throughout your system.
