Required libraries on Windows server

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We need a new environment besides the existing installations of MDM Standard Edition 11.6.0.11.


The following site shows the Visual C++ 2012 library is required for the installation.


https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/imdm/11.6?topic=deployment-installation-requirements


However, the library is no longer supported as shown at the site below.


https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170


Given that, which version would be the replacement for the new installation as well as the existing environments? Also is there a specific procedure to replace with especially in a production environment?

    Thanks Chris for your attention and confirmation.

    Rerferring to the site below, it says 'Ensure that Microsoft Visual C++ 2013, 64-bit is installed.' where VC++ 2013 is also no longer supported. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/imdm/14.0?topic=deployment-installation-requirements

    Can you please double check and update the site with the appropriate VC++ version(s)?

    Thank you for the submission. The latest supported libraries are all made available as per the latest release of MDM v14.
