so today I couldn't start OBS for an important urgent recording


and got some message about needing to update C++ ...

it took me to this page


https://obsproject.com/visual-studio-2022-runtimes


says on it

OBS Studio requires updated Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributables. Please run both of these installers in order to continue:

Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable [64 bit] - vc_redist.x64.exe

Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable [32 bit] - vc_redist.x86.exe

Both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions need to be installed, even if you have a 64 bit version of Windows.

I was concerned if this is not a hack? for us to install new .exe

how did this happen?

thank you

I am in the same situation. I was aiming to execute OBS in a portable way, using the zip. This makes OBS "not portable" if I have to install something else.

I tried to extract the libraries by:
1. Using the `dark` tool from here (the wix314-binaries.zip):
```
wix314-binaries\dark VC_redist.x86.exe -x vc_redist.x86
wix314-binaries\dark VC_redist.x64.exe -x vc_redist.x64
```
2. Uncompressing:
- vc_redist.x86\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_x86\cab1.cab
- vc_redist.x86\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeAdditional_x86\cab1.cab
- vc_redist.x64\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\cab1.cab
- vc_redist.x64\AttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeAdditional_amd64\cab1.cab
3. Copying the .DLL's to the obs\bin\x64\ folder

Still no success.

It worked by renaming all libraries ending in .dll_amd64 into .dll.
