Hi guys, I need your advice here. As some of you probably know we have Windows installers for ODBC in our binary releases, so users won't need to build Ignite C++ if all they want is to install and use our ODBC driver. However, as we build driver with MSVC 10 when we are preparing our binary release, user should have Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package for it to work properly. If they do not, it just do not work, not giving any human-readable errors, which is very confusing to a user.
So my idea was to check for required package during installation and give user a download link to a proper package. However, on the WiX website there are articles on how to include the package into installer [1]. So I've thought that maybe this is even the better way to solve a problem. So thus is my question, is it OK from the legal standpoint, if we will distribute installer, that includes Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package? We are not going to put any binaries under the source control, of course. Can anyone help?
