When building a windows desktop project, 32-bit, I have to switch “Include runtime dll’s” on in order to run on some Windows 7 machines. No issue, this why we have this option. But, as I have had a year ago already with a previous version, now with 2017R3 I see again that the runtime dll’s as listed below are copied to the main exe-folder as well as the libs folder. This means we have them twice in the build folder, which is redundant and space consuming.
I am curious if anybody else has seen this behavior.
