VCLibs.140.Redist.Unpackaged

Bundles the Visual C++ 2015-2019 UWP runtime DLLs (*_app.dll) extracted from the Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 framework MSIX packages shipped with the Windows 10 SDK, so an MSIX-packaged app can also run in an unpackaged context.

What it does

Adding this package to a project copies the matching set of VCLibs runtime DLLs into the build output directory, selected at build time by:

  • Configuration: Debug → Debug binaries (*d_app.dll), anything else → Retail.
  • Architecture: $(Platform) (native, Win32 → x86), then $(PlatformTarget) (managed), then $(RuntimeIdentifier), then the build host's processor architecture as a last-resort fallback.

Supported project types

  • Native C++ (.vcxproj) - copy happens AfterTargets="Build".
  • Managed (.NET Framework 4.5.2+ and .NET 8) - DLLs are added as <None> items with CopyToOutputDirectory=PreserveNewest, so they also travel through Publish and Pack.

For .vcxproj projects you may need to set <RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle> in the project so NuGet uses the modern restore path.

Source and version

DLLs and version are taken from the Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 framework MSIX packages installed by the Windows 10 SDK at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Kits\10\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.VCLibs\14.0\Appx

License

These DLLs are redistributed under the Microsoft Windows SDK license ("Distributable Code" / "Third Party Distribution" clauses). The full license text is included in this package as License.txt.
