If you have an application that requires Visual C++ Redistributables, make sure to install the correct version to function properly.

These components are installed when you install Visual Studio, but can also be downloaded separately. The Visual C++ Redistributables package contains the Visual C++ runtimes that are necessary for programs written with Microsoft Visual C++ to run correctly.

Similarly, without the correct redistributable package, the program won’t run. The relationship between the Visual C++ Redistributables package and the programs that rely on it is similar to the relationship between a car and the gasoline it needs to run: without the fuel, the car won’t go anywhere. Without these components, Visual C++ programs wouldn’t be able to access resources to run properly. These components include the C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP libraries. That hopefully gives us some clues about what to investigate next.Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables are a package of libraries (files and resources) necessary for running programs developed with Microsoft Visual C++. Goal is to find it these work when installed via the standard RStudio installer. Need you to conduct that test, using both the currently released 1.1 build (1.1.453), and if possible, the latest daily build (1.2.826). If you are creating your own installation image, then I need to know if installing onto a test machine configured in your standard configuration, using the RStudio installer, also has the problem. How are you installing RStudio? Do you use the RStudio installer, or are you bundling up the files yourselves as part of an image to apply to machines? So I will need your help in troubleshooting to figure out what it is about your environment that triggers the issue.įirst, what specific version of Windows-10 do you have? I am testing on Pro, 64-bit 1803, build 17134.165. I can install RStudio 1.0.153, 1.1.453, and 1.2.826 onto a clean Windows-10 machine and run them with no problems.

This is not an issue that most RStudio users are encountering on Windows-10, and I cannot reproduce the problem.
