Yes, the installer installs VC++ 2005. This is sufficient for 8.4.19. But not for version 8.4.20. The installer of version 8.4.20 does install CV++2005 too, but I have to install VC++ 2008 to get it working.

As a result the installer of 8.4.20 hangs at the end of the process if VC++ 2008 is not installed. I have checked the installers of 8.4.19 and 8.4.20 in the exact same environment. (Virtual machine Win XP SP2 with no VC++ installed)

Please check, possibly I am wrong,
Patrick

Installer installs the VC++ runtimes. You can confirm from the installation log. There is no change from installer perspective in 8.4.20.

Well, after installing the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)" it is working again.

Why did the compiler change, without a hint in the release-notes? In version 8.4.19 the C++ 2008 runtime was not necessary.

Kind regards,

Patrick
