New VC++ runtime requirement for cloud-hosted environments and VHD images running version 10.0.36 or later
[!include banner]
This article describes the new prerequisite for cloud-hosted environments or VHD images that run version 10.0.36 or later.
As of version 10.0.36, an updated Microsoft Visual C++ (VC++) runtime must be installed in developer cloud-hosted environments (also known as OneBox environments) or VHD images as a prerequisite for new service updates. This new runtime is automatically installed in all newly deployed cloud-hosted environments. However, existing environments and VHD images require manual installation. To download the new runtime, go to VC++ runtime download.
Important
After you install the new VC++ runtime, you must restart the machine before you apply the service update. Otherwise, the service update isn't successfully installed.
Can I update the VC++ runtime in cloud-hosted environments that currently run versions earlier than 10.0.36?
Yes. You can safely apply the new VC++ runtime to any pre-existing environment or VHD image that doesn't yet run version 10.0.36. We recommend that you apply the update before you apply the version 10.0.36 or later service update.
No. By default, the updated VC++ runtime is installed in all newly provisioned environments.
Yes. The VHD image downloads, through Dynamics 365 version 10.0.32, don't have this VC++ runtime installed.
Yes. You must restart the virtual machine before the update takes effect.
