C++ Runtime Dependencies

JeremyBridges

If anyone has been looking for the best way to deploy the C++ Runtime with your esri Runtime WPF app, here's the content we brought into our app package. We copy from these locations:

32-bit:
c:\windows\syswow64*140.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x86\*
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC140.CRT*

64-bit:
c:\windows\system32*140.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x64\*
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\redist\x64\Microsoft.VC140.CRT*

32-bit files go into the ArcGISRuntime100.11\client32 folder. 64-bit files go into the ArcGISRuntime100.11\client64 folder.

Indeed. We plan to maintain this dependency through our trust in Microsoft's build agents, used from within Azure DevOps. Should be pretty reliable.

As for the Runtime docs, I would ask that "Local install" is explained a bit more. I knew what that meant, but I'm not sure all Runtime developers would. Microsoft is un-helpful there too. But, at least the esri docs could refer to Microsoft's docs on the matter.
