#2777: Update NSIS MSVC redist checker
-----------------------+--------------------
Reporter: lunch | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: 1.3.13
Component: Packaging | Version: 1.3.12
Keywords: |
-----------------------+--------------------
Currently the installer doesn't check for the latest versions of Visual
C++ 2008 Redistributable.
As a result, if the user has the latest version of these runtimes
installed, it isn't recognized and he is prompted to install these. As
more, an older version.
Relevant file: deluge-win32-installer.nsi
CLSID currently checked:
FF66E9F6-83E7-3A3E-AF14-8DE9A809A6A4
9A25302D-30C0-39D9-BD6F-21E6EC160475
You should add these two entries:
1F1C2DFC-2D24-3E06-BCB8-725134ADF989
9BE518E6-ECC6-35A9-88E4-87755C07200F
I think you should also remove FF66E9F6-83E7-3A3E-AF14-8DE9A809A6A4, so
the user would be prompted to update its antiquated VC++ 2008
redistributable to at least SP1.
Lastly, I would update the download link to https://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=26368 in order to direct to the latest
version.
