Hi everyone,
After installing the suggested VClibs at - #2369
the installer still shows:

(They said to open a new issue report)

Build this App on your own and make an appx.
It creates also the dependencies (Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx, Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx)

Extract the downloaded msixbundle File and copy the created dependencies (Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx, Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx) in the same Folder as the CascadiaPackage_xxx_x64.msix is and install it.

On a new release you can reuse this dependencies. Only extract und copy the files.

@bitcrazed I'm assigning this one to you per #2369 (comment)

The link you provided is to the desktop application redistributable, not the UWPDesktop redistributable.

Is there a reason why the dependencies are not in the Package?
The app installer needs always the dependencies, also if the dependencies are already installed...

[DHowett-MSFT]

The dependencies are not in the package because the dependencies need to be able to be updated without us releasing an update.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Is it possible to attach the dependencies as seperate download for those who has no access to the store?

@DHowett
i think i've seen FluentTerminal managing to handle that as they ship the dependencies respectively (aside the msixbundle) and an installation script that way the install script managed to properly install everything

it also fixes the part where the store could / update be able to install it later on

that seems like it would be the perfect way for users here.
