PDFNet.dll can not load file or dependency

We have been using PDFNET for many years.

We recently updated from .NET Framework 4 to 4.7.1. We HAD been running PDFNet version 6.60, and also upgraded to the 9.2 version. We also advanced from Visual Studio 2010 to Visual Studio 2017.

Otherwise our migrated project needed no changes other than to advance the .NET framework version to 4.71.

Everything tests and works fine from our development PCs. But when we go to deploy, and our software references PDFNet we are getting CAN NOT LOAD PDFNET.dll or one of it’s dependencies.

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:

Hello, the runtime dependency switched for this version. https://www.pdftron.com/documentation/windows/changelog/#changed-behaviour It is now the VC++ 2013 runtimes, since Microsoft is end of life for Visual Studio 2010 shortly.
