Sublime Text and Visual C++ Redistributables

#1

Does Sublime Text- versions (3.0, 3.1, and 3.2) include or have a pre-requisite on Visual C++ Redistributable?
a. If yes, what is that version of Visual C++ Redistributable required? Please provide a link to release notes or product details on the this website.

Thanks in advance

Portable versions of Sublime (all versions, not just the ranges you specified in your question) are available as zip files and, once extracted will run with no setup steps at all, first time, without having to download anything extra.

They also only come bundled with the application, plugin hosts, and an installer application for applying any updates that might happen.

As such, I would would say the answer to the question is No, unless SublimeHQ are hoping that anyone that tries to run it already has a version of the VC redist packages preinstalled, or it’s statically linked (which I assume is impossible or my windows machine wouldn’t have 37 copies of it installed right now).

In all the time I’ve used Sublime I’ve never seen anyone have such an issue.

As far as I know, nope. In case you want that, here is an All-In-One pack for VC++

ST ships a copy of msvcr100.dll for python3.3. ST4 also includes vcruntime140.dll which is required by python 3.8.

ST itself doesn’t depend on any VC runtime. AFAIK, it’s cross compiled using llvm, using its runtime code on all OSs.

That’s what PEstudio says.
