[Copis]

Expected Behavior

Current Behavior

Installation error "msvcr120.dll is missing"

Possible Solution

Install Visual C++ Redistributable 2013
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Windows Server 2012 R2 without Visual C++ Redistributable 2013
2. Install the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows as mentioned in documentation https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/blob/master/doc/06-distributed-monitoring.md

Context

Regarding the documentation, "https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/blob/master/doc/06-distributed-monitoring.md" the update for Universal C Runtime doesn't work for me. I need to install Visual C++ Redistributable 2013

Interesting. Thanks for the heads up, should be documented.

[gunnarbeutner]

The correct way to fix this would be to redistribute those DLLs. This should not just be a documentation change.

@gunnarbeutner right, we talked about offline, thanks.

As it turns out the problem was actually openssl that required msvcr120.dll. We solved this by rebuilding openssl with with Visual Studio 2015 and it now requires msvcr140, which we ship with icinga.

The issue is now fixed and all we need to do is rebuild version 2.8.0

It seems that the x86 package has been rebuilt, but not the x86_64.

Would it be possible to rebuild also the x86_64? That would make our deployment process easier on our infra (reduction of the number of dependencies).

[Crunsher]

Sorry for the inconvenience, new packages are up now.

Great, thanks :+1:
