VERICUT 6.1.1 and XP64

BillH · 2007-05-16 17:41:12

Running 64 bit VERICUT on Windows 64 bit operating system requires the installation of the correct Windows system run-time libraries. An administrative user must do the installation.

Because of an update to Microsoft's 64 bit development tools, VERICUT 6.1.1 needs an updated set of run-time libraries. The updated Microsoft run-time library installer is included on the VERICUT 6.1.1 CD and in the downloadable zip file of the VERICUT installation. The installer file name is vcredist_x64.exe. Double-click on the file to run the installer.

This is required to run VERICUT 6.1.1, and must be done even if you have successfully installed the previous run-time libraries for 64 bit VERICUT 6.0 or 6.1.

Both run-time library installers, one for VERICUT 6.0 and 6.1, and one for VERICUT 6.1.1, are also available at:

ftp://ftp.cgtech.com/Download/pointrel/ … T60_61.exe

and

ftp://ftp.cgtech.com/Download/pointrel/ … CUT611.exe

The different versions of run-time libraries can be installed together on the same computer if you need to run both 6.0/6.1 and 6.1.1 concurrently.

Do we need a run-time libraries installer for 6.1.2 on xp64?

If you installed the Windows C++ run-time library for VERICUT 611 then you are good to go. 612 uses the same.

The version of C++ run-time is determined by the compiler version. We had to update our Microsoft compiler after releasing 6.0, due to a compiler bug. This forced us to distribute an updated Microsoft C++ run-time library compatible with the updated compiler.

FYI ...
We are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, which forces this run-time scheme on us. We continue to search for a better solution, but so far we've found nothing.

Running the vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe could be set up as a pre-installation installer task.

I am currently using the following batch file to automate the installation of the VC++ Runtime Files.

if exist vcredist_x86.exe vcredist_x86.exe

if %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% == AMD64 (
  if exist vcredist_x64.exe vcredist_x64.exe
)

if exist install.exe install.exe
