CrossOver Support - Community Forums

When I try to install apps which need Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables, my installation creator says that it cannot find installers for them. Is there any way to add installers for these dependencies to Crossover software?

Hi Damian,

Unfortunately it seems that Microsoft recently stopped distributing that version of Microsoft Visual C++ and we are still investigating what will be the best replacement. For now, you can click "Advanced Options" in the lower left corner, and then click "Remove" and remove "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (9.0) Redistributable". It actually looks like that is an unnecessary dependency, but if Battle.net isnt' working after installation, you can try right clicking on the bottle, clicking "Install Software into Bottle" and installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 instead.

Please let me know if this works!

Thanks,
Anna

I'm not sure if this will help, but I have downloaded the x86 ones from Microsoft.

I renamed them by adding the year, but they have vcredist_x86(2008).exe and vcredist_x86(2010).exe

Here are the Microsoft links:

2008 and 2010

2008 vcresist_x86.exe

2010 vcredist_x86.exe

Didn't have a need for 64-bit, so I didn't look for those.
Hope this helps.

Thank you! We were also able to find new download links on Thursday, so hopefully the C++ 2008 crossties should be up and running again :)

Thanks,
Anna
