ArcWelder failed to load on PC without VC 2019 Runtime installed
I installed the plugin from the Ultimaker Cura Marketplace, but after a restart, I couldn't find any ArcWelder-related items in the user interface. After looking through the Cura log, I found that the problem was that ArcWelder.exe wouldn't load because I didn't have the Visual Studio 2019 runtime files installed on my PC.
I don't know if there's a way to have that prerequisite shown during install or a way to build the executable with no dependencies, but I wanted to post so other people who have the same issue could find a solution.
I ended up downloading it from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and everything worked after that.
Hey, I just released some binaries for windows that are statically linked to the required dlls. If you wouldn't mind trying them out (might have to uninstall the C++ runtime) by downloading the latest build here, that would be awesome.
Were you able to give this a try? I'm just checking in to see if I can close this issue. It's actually a bit difficult for me to test this myself, since all my PCs are used for development, and all have the C++ runtime. Thinking about spinning up a VM, but that does take time.
Anyway, let me know when you have some time, thanks!
