When the C# hotrod client is installed in an environment without Visual studio , it is missing libraries to run properly. ----- The staff investigated the situation and found the problem and the dependence of MSVCR100.dll MSVCP100.dll libraries that are installed with Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64). This in turn is an optional package of .Net framework. Why they were not installed on the machines where the application is running. ---- Engineering has confirmed this should be included in the docs. [reply from isavin] Hi Dennis, The C# client is a wrapper over the native one (C++) and indeed the package mentioned by the client seems to be required if Visual Studio is not installed and it should be installed manually in addition to the .NET runtime. This should be documented for both the native and .net client. -- Ion Savin while fixing the docs is an option, maybe providing another distro for clean os is a better option.
The issue was documented, but the installer does not detect this situation and the libraries are not in client distribution.
The follow-up BZ is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180080
Apologies for closing as verified, but while it was documented in source code, the info is neither in REAMDE.txt nor in docs/ (as this contains only API docs).
