VCRuntime not installed with scalacli

[mhammons-ledger]

Version(s)

0.1.1

Describe the bug

Installed on a fresh Windows 10 install, scala-cli complains that vcruntime140_1.dll is absent. If this is needed, then it should be bundled with the installer.

To Reproduce

Create a VM. Install Windows 10 Pro. Install scala-cli. Run it from the terminal. You'll get an error dialog that vcruntime140_1.dll is missing.

Expected behaviour
It should run

@mhammons-ledger Do you know how to get Windows VMs without vcruntime140_1.dll, to allow to test fixes for this? AFAIR, AWS Windows images and Microsoft provided VMs both have this file installed out-of-the-box. And it seems it's there on GitHub actions too.

I just used a fresh windows 10 installation. Mark Edgar Hammons II

@mhammons-ledger does this still happen for you?

@tgodzik we're using a self-hosted Windows runner for GitHub actions at https://github.com/scala/scala3 and we got this error when testing the native windows launcher for scala-cli:

C:/actions-runner2/_work/scala3/scala3/dist/win-x86_64/target/pack/bin/scala-cli.exe:
error while loading shared libraries: VCRUNTIME140_1.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[tgodzik]

How did you install it? Looks like for winget we add a dependency https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/a542a28386234cab0c833d5dde54f8e69e87c58e/manifests/v/VirtusLab/ScalaCLI/1.0.6/VirtusLab.ScalaCLI.installer.yaml#L10

Maybe try installing using winget?

[bishabosha]

no we are just directly executing the scala-cli.exe unzipped from scala-cli-x86_64-pc-win32.zip (as would be done if installing with coursier/SDKMAN)

[tgodzik]

Not sure if we can fix that other than making the users install it :/
