SYMPTOM:
The following error is received when trying to install the Function Plug-in component under Strategy Developer 9.4.x-10.x:
Strategy Desktop Products requirements: MISSING: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 (8.0) or Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (10.0). It is required by Strategy Function Plug-in under Strategy Architect.
This error can be seen even if the mentioned Visual C++ versions are already installed on the machine.
CAUSE:
This is because Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is needed for the Function Plug-in to install, rather than Visual C++ Runtime or Redistributable.
ACTION:
Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on the machine in order to install the Strategy Function Plug-in.
