Building OS images? Bookmark this!

Posted on February 27, 2014March 4, 2014 by Jörgen Nilsson

When building a new OS image it is a really good idea to include Visual C++ Redistributable packages in the image as well as .NET framework versions so that we don’t need to handle these software components as dependencies for all applications but have it included in the standard image instead. I also copy Cmtrace.exe to every location I can think of, like C:\windows on all clients when I create the image, extremely useful.

Here is a Knowledge-base article to bookmark “Latest Supported Visual C++ Downloads” http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019667

It contains information and links to all the latest versions of the Visual C++ Redistributable packages which makes it really easy to find the latest versions.

The link to the Visual C++ 2013 redistributable pacakge is not in page below, here is the link instead. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

      The link for Visual Studio C++ 2012 update 4 is updated 11/20/2013. so it is still valid.

        Having written that, of course Visual Studio Runtime 2013 is not in the list 🙁 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

    How about a a general “OS Capture Pre-Reqs” page?

    These are two slightly more obscure ones that are useful to include in a capture:
