create setup with pre-install vc++2015 runtime like requirement


I am creating a setup and check the pre-requirement option of Visual Studio 2019 - Setup Project. However, I could not find a VC++2015 pre-requirement.

enter image description here

But I am using CEFSHARP and it is a requirement; I don't want to put people to install this manually, is there a way to add this as a requirement and automate the installation.

I don't know much about it; I don't even know how to actually say this: pre-requisites?

Also, the Visual Studio user interface is in Spanish; how do I change it to English?


Solution

  • The actual version number for Visual Studio 2015 is 14. See the tag wiki for more information about VS version numbers.

    So, to have your "setup.exe" pre-install the redistributables required by CefSharp, select the Visual C++ "14" Runtime Libraries (xxx) appropriate for your target platform(s).

    Furthermore, since VS-2015, the C++ Redistributable Pack has been 'unified' to work with software compiled with multiple versions of the toolset: Thus, the Visual C++ "14" Runtime Libraries are suitable also for software built with VS-2017 (v. 15) and VS-2019 (v. 16). More info here.
