VC + + Dependency library in Project deployment

Deployment in Visual C + +

1, recommended practice, the use of the corresponding Vcredist.exe. Vcredist.exe installs the run-time library under the System folder.

In the above directory of version=10, there is a ucrt,*140.dll that relies on the API opening library. You can put these 41
The library is placed in the directory where the EXE resides. You can refer to applications such as Postman,vscode,wegame.
