[Qgis-user] Corporate Users

Mon Nov 7 04:05:36 PST 2016

Hi Bo,

first - thank you for pointing us to your great instructions. I have another question about this. I often have the problem, that on a fresh Windows installation the Microsoft C++ Redistributable environment lacks. Does your setup routine consider this? And will the environment be possibly automatically post-installed?

Regards
Burghardt
