- There are two ways to include the run time libraries: by bundling them
- directly with your application or by installing them on the end-user's
- system.
-
- To bundle the run time libraries with your application, copy the directory
-
- \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_deployment.qdoc 22
-
- into the folder where your executable is, so that you are including a
- \c Microsoft.VC80.CRT directory alongside your application's executable. If
- you are bundling the runtimes and need to deploy plugins as well, you have
- to remove the manifest from the plugins (embedded as a resource) by adding
- the following line to the \c{.pro} file of the plugins you are compiling:
-
- \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_deployment.qdoc 23
-
- \warning If you skip the step above, the plugins will not load on some
- systems.
+ The correct way to include the runtime libraries with your application
+ is to ensure that they are installed on the end-user's system.
To install the runtime libraries on the end-user's system, you need to
include the appropriate Visual C++ Redistributable Package (VCRedist)
