My c# program uses a dll written in c++, and this dll is embedded by Fody Costura.
It works on machines having Visual C++ runtime installed or having msvcp140.dll and dependencies in the working folder.
Is it possible to embed msvcp140.dll and dependencies to the executable using Fody Costura? My attempt to do it was unsuccessful.
Yes.
Option 1: Use the dependency files on the working directory
Refer to the official document for Unmanaged32Assemblies & Unmanaged64Assemblies config option
Option 2: Use the installed Visual C++ runtime
Add a code to check if the required version of the Visual C++ runtime is installed before using the C++ library
