The cause of the security failure, is the msvcr100.dll, which is used by Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.
Are there any requirements or dependencies that DevTest 10.6 has related to Visual C++ 2010.
Environment
All supported DevTest releases.
Cause
The DLL in question is the msvcr100.dll, which is a Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 dll.
The dll version 10.0.30319 is the base Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributed installation; the 10.0.40219 release is from the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributed Service Pack 1 installation.
