Q: today I tried out your 64 bit version of pdfnet by downloading the
trial and compiling your PdfView sample.
However I get an exception:
“Dependent Assembly … Microsoft.VC90.CRT … could not be found”
The following is the full event log output:
Activation context generation failed for “C:\temp\PDFView\PDFNet.dll”.

A: It seems that your machine is missing standard VC runtime on the
target machine. You could download VC 64-bit redistributable using the
following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=BD2A6171-E2D6-4230-B809-9A8D7548C1B6&displaylang=en
or search for “VC Redistributable” on the Web.
Please note that this dependency on VC Redistributable only exist in
64-bit version of PDFNet for .NET.
