Electron 1.1.0 for Windows needs vcruntime140.dll

See original GitHub issue

electron-packager, under Windows, is linking against msvcp140.dll, whereas electron 1.1.0 needs msvcp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll. This causes all built apps to not run on Windows if using electron 1.1.0 (which is currently the latest version).

This issue can be fixed by manually placing msvcp140.dll and vcruntime140.dll, obtained via the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 , in the root directory of the built Electron application.

Which version of electron-packager are you using?

7.0.1.

What version of Electron are you building with?

1.1.0.

What is the host platform are you running electron-packager on?

Windows 10 x64.

What target platform(s)/architecture(s) are you building for?

Windows 10 x64.
