I packaged a game that I am working on and trying to download and install it on another computer. The computer has windows 10 and is brand new. I tried downloading the .exe file of my project on it, but it tells me I need Microsoft Visual C++ runtime to download the game. Does my game have to use this to play it, or is it just a setting i need to change in my packaging?
Okay that got rid of that issue after i installed Runtime. Now the computer cant start the .exe because the createprocess() returned 2. What does that mean?
No, VS is only required to compile C++, once is compiled it can be exectuted anywhere you package to, only requirement is having VS2015 C++ Runtime which most users install anyway, if not point user here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 you can also try bundle it with you installer of the game
Hmm don’t know, there thread about UE4 preequisits you might try explore it:
But any user that plays other UE4 games should be ready for your game
Okay i got it working. When you package, it creates a whole folder with the .exe. You have to move the whole folder and .exe file with it for it to work. Thanks for the help.
