From db39a78c8cb22821c3585fbefae6d185f4aa417e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Abassian Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 23:40:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Update _index.en.md If the c++ redistributable isn't installed, the start service shell fails silently and nothing helpful is logged. This is frustrating and there's no reason it isn't listed on the read me, especially since it has been acknowledged by the maintainer. It would have taken very little effort beyond the sassy comment [here](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/issues/163#issuecomment-1386420173) to actually address this. --- .../rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/windows/_index.en.md | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/content/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/windows/_index.en.md b/content/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/windows/_index.en.md index e5ece0d..d6dcc47 100644 --- a/content/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/windows/_index.en.md +++ b/content/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/installscript/windows/_index.en.md @@ -13,6 +13,9 @@ The GUI version, `RustDeskServer.setup.exe` has not been maintained any more, no ### Install +## Pre-Requisite +The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable is required to run rustdesk on Windows.
