Description

Issue/Introduction

This article provides information on the purpose of installing the VC++ redistributable packages while installing TIBCO Data Virtualization server.

Resolution

Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable is a collection of runtime components and libraries provided by Microsoft.

The Windows PostgreSQL databases that come with install/patch require the VC++ redistributable to be installed before PostgreSQL is installed. It is a requirement for Windows PostgreSQL services to work. Without VC++ redistributable the PostgreSQL installation fails.
