SUMMARY Program does not boot properly. Having checked whether the windows version used was the 64 bit and then installing the 64 bit version of marble, the installation appeared to work properly, but upon booting the application an error message appeared.Note: Avira Antivirus program has been installed. I don't wish to deactivate Avira Antivirus during any program install. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install the Marble program on a windows 10 (64 bit) operating system. 2. Boot the application after install. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Upon booting the application, an error message appears: "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP120.dll was not found. Reinstalling this program may fix the problem." Reinstalling did not fix the problem. EXPECTED RESULT Properly booting into a usable program. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 (64 bit) macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: Not installed. Quicktime was removed when many different antivirus programs identified it as a threat even though I had just downloaded it from its official website. I certainly hope this program is not dependent on Quicktime, which has in my view lost all credibility. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not sure if we are allowed to redistribute MSVCP120.dll; adding KDE on Windows developers for investigation.
You are allowed, and we do it with Craft and binary factory.

Just in case, there is a cmake module that retrieves all the required dependencies that can be used on Windows: https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Modules/InstallRequiredSystemLibraries.cmake We use it like this on GCompris: https://cgit.kde.org/gcompris.git/tree/CMakeLists.txt#n6 (In reply to Anon E.
