The easiest way to deal with this seems to be to build your installs with LinderSoft's SetupBuilder, which can install the 2005 redistributable if it isn't already present. Yes, SetupBuilder is an additional cost but if you ship product it's almost certainly a wise investment even without this feature.
Update: Confirmation by Bob Z
Bob Zaunere has confirmed the above requirements:
| Note | ||

In the current C9 release you do need 2 things when distributing your program;
1. installation of the the 2005 VC++ runtime (x86), *note: in the next release
(today or tomorrow),you will not need it _unless you are using the PDF Report
Generator, and then _only _if you are using the new "Use Scan Copy Mode"
option, which by default is OFF.
2. ClaRunExt.dll (located in the Clarion BIN folder)
If you use SetupBuilder the install of the VC++ runtime (x86) is all handled by
a checkbox located under: Setup Requirements->Core PreRequisites.
We'll also be shipping a redistributable .exe that will handle the install of
the VC++ runtime (x86) for those who may deploy via .zip or .rar |
Note the phrase "current c9 release" - hopefully the redistributable requirement is not permanent.
