Issue/Introduction
When doing the UIM 9.02 install on a clean windows 2008 R2 64-bit system the installer is getting to 27% and stopping. When I look at the distsrv logs we are getting a max restarts reached for the distsrv probe.
In the windows event log we are seeing the following error: ctivation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\probes\service\distsrv\distsrv.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
How can we correct this problem?
Cause
the distsrv deployed with UIM 9.02 requires the Visual 2008 C++ 64-bit runtime libraries. The installer only installs the Visual 2017 C++runtime libraries so this fails.
Environment
UIM 9.02 Any windows server version without C++ Runtime 2008 libraries already installed such as: Windows 2008 R2 Windows 2012 Windows 2016
Resolution
Download the MS Visual C++ 2008 64-bit Runtime libraries and install them before starting the installer.
