How to install and update Desktop framework packages This article discusses how to create a Desktop Bridge container that includes the correct C++ Runtime libraries. An application that's running in a Desktop Bridge container and that uses an incorrect version of the C++ runtime libraries might fail when it tries to access resources such as the file system or the registry. Windows desktop applications that run in a Desktop Bridge container cannot use the C++ Runtime libraries that are included with Visual Studio or VCRedist. This must be done instead of just redistributing the C++ Runtime libraries that are included with Visual Studio or the Visual C++ Runtime redistributable (VCRedist).
Windows desktop applications that have a dependency on the C++ Runtime libraries must specify the corresponding version of the C++ Runtime framework package for Desktop Bridge during creation of the application package.
