Information about Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Package for Windows

I need to know a few things about the following:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Package for Windows

- filename of the DLL
- Is it available as a NuGet Package?
- If this is missing, how do I include it in my C# mobile app?
- If I installed the Windows 8.1 SDK - what would be the path to this file?

Thank you!

Why do you want the C++ runtime for C# application?

Tom Knowlton

Well, the app is written in C#, but targets Windows 8.1 features that require this runtime.

I'm new to this project and new to mobile development. It's the best answer I can give for now.

What is the name of the DLL file?

It seems to involve a manifest file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs\12.0\SKDManifest.xml

Which looks like this:

<FileList
  FrameworkIdentity-Debug = "Name = Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.Debug, MinVersion = 12.0.21005.1"
  FrameworkIdentity-Retail = "Name = Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00, MinVersion = 12.0.21005.1"
  MinVSVersion = "12.0"
  DisplayName = "Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime Package for Windows"
  AppliesTo = "WindowsAppContainer + (Managed | Javascript)"
  AppX-Debug-x86 = ".\AppX\Debug\x86\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.Debug.12.00.appx"
  AppX-Debug-x64 = ".\AppX\Debug\x64\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.Debug.12.00.appx"
  AppX-Debug-ARM = ".\AppX\Debug\ARM\Microsoft.VCLibs.ARM.Debug.12.00.appx"
  AppX-Retail-x86 = ".\AppX\Retail\x86\Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.12.00.appx"
  AppX-Retail-x64 = ".\AppX\Retail\x64\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.12.00.appx"
  AppX-Retail-ARM = ".\AppX\Retail\ARM\Microsoft.VCLibs.ARM.12.00.appx"
  SupportsMultipleVersions="Error"
  SupportedArchitectures="x86;x64;ARM"
  MaxPlatformVersion="8.1"
  MinOSVersion="6.3.0"
  MaxOSVersionTested="6.3.0">
</FileList>

Not familiar with .appx files. Hmmm...
