CEFSharp needs VS C++ redistributable on the target machine, any way around this?

[Jim Bourekas]

Hello,

I know that CEFSharp requires the Visual Studio C++ 2012 redistributable on the target pc in order to run. Is there any way to "bundle" the needed DLLs with my application so that the user does not have to install them? 

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Solved it by copying over to my project the contents of these two folders:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC110.CRT

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC110.MFC

Now I don't need to install the prerequisite "Visual C++ 2012 Runtime Files" to my client.

Hi,

Great that you managed to fix it. Could you add this info to https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions also? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hello,

I added it but the formatting could use a facelift ;)
