Mladen Turk commented on DAEMON-279:
------------------------------------
msvcrt.dll is integral part of operating system. You wouldn't be able to boot
without it, so its hardly missing.
> MSVCR should be ditributed with procrun

> Key: DAEMON-279
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-279
> Project: Commons Daemon
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Procrun
> Affects Versions: 1.0.13
> Reporter: Ales Dolecek
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: build
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h

> Windows OS does not by default include MSVCR library. And it is not system
> library and Miscrosoft does not provide it as "standalone" instalation.
> According to Microsoft knowledgebas it is responsibility of the application
> authors to distribute the DLL with their product:
> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326922/en
> The binary distribution of procrun shall therefore include this file. While
> many systems already include this somewhere on PATH it is not required. And
> users often download the DLL from various sites in Internet which leads to
> security risks.
> If the omission of the DLL is deliberate then you shall document it along
> with some trusted source where the users might get the library.
