C++ Runtime v12 framework package for Desktop Bridge (Project Centennial)
C++ Runtime framework packages help developers reference the C++ Runtime from their desktop apps that will be distributed through the Store. These framework packages are provided to help developers convert their C++ desktop apps to UWP. Multiple apps can specify a dependency on these framework packages. Once Store is ready to onboard the Centennial apps, these frameworks will also be distributed/updated through the Store, similar to the C++ UWP framework packages. Versions supported: We are providing framework packages for the version 12.0 of C++ Runtime. Details: Note: There are two installers available for download. Once you click download you will be prompted to select the files you need. FileName File Size vc_uwpdesktop.120.exe After installation succeeds: If you look under the folder “Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Kits\10\ExtensionSDKs” on your machine, you will see the Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop.120 and Microsoft.VCLibs.Desktop folders that contain the framework packages for C++ Runtime 12.0. You can install these packages manually using Add-AppxPackage cmdlet. In your converted app’s AppxManifest.xml, specify a PackageDependency to the framework package: Version 12.0: Dependencies PackageDependency Name="Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.UWPDesktop" MinVersion="12.0.40653.0" Publisher="CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US" Dependencies Now when you deploy your app, it will be able to load the C++ Runtime DLLs from the dependency package.
