MC installer does not detect current version of VC Runtime

The MobiControl 2025.1.2 Installer (and propably other versions) does not detect if the current version 14.50.35710 probably because Microsoft changed the name of the runtime to "Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable"

The installer offers to install the missing requirements, but of course are not successfull because it would result in a downgrade of the allready installed VC runtime.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for posting on SOTI Pulse.

We are aware of this behavior and have observed it on some server instances as well. At the moment, the recommended workaround is to uninstall the existing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from the server and then proceed with the installation using the MobiControl installer. Once MobiControl is successfully installed, you can upgrade the Visual C++ Redistributable to the latest version.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out. You may also reach out to us at SOTI Support (support@soti.net) to open a new case and one of our support engineer will be there to assist you.

Kind Regards,
