Working with Microsoft Windows Visual Studio and Windows SDK

As with previous releases of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, you must install specific versions of the Microsoft Visual Studio runtime libraries or the Visual Studio product itself before you can run the installer for the Deployment Server. Visual Studio runtime libraries provide the support files for C and C++ based programs to run. The Visual Studio product includes these runtime libraries as well as a compiler and linker which can be used to build JD Edwards EnterpriseOne installable packages.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools (foundation) and Applications (business functions) are built with different releases of Visual Studio; hence, they each require specific installations of the Visual Studio runtime libraries or product.

  • As of the GA release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release 9.2, the required version of Visual Studio runtime libraries is 2010. (The full licensable Visual Studio product is not needed for the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Release because customers do not rebuild this JD Edwards EnterpriseOne component.)

  • As of the GA release of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Release 9.2, the required version of Visual Studio runtime libraries and product is 2013.

Tip: The net of this discussion is that for a typical Deployment Server installation, both versions of Visual Studio runtime are required at a minimum (VS/2010 and VS/2013). Further, if package builds will occur on the Deployment Server then the full licensable product version of Visual Studio and, if required, the freely-available Windows SDK as specified in Oracle Certify for the applicable EnterpriseOne Applications Release are also required.

You should check Oracle Certifications for the most current specifications for supported releases of Visual Studio for your Tools Release and Applications Release. Refer to Accessing Certifications in this guide.

The Visual Studio runtime libraries (which are partial products with no development tools) for each supported release of Visual Studio are freely available from the Microsoft Download Center. The complete Visual Studio product (which includes the runtime and the compiler and associated tools) must be purchased and licensed from Microsoft.

Note: Only 32-bit versions of Visual Studio runtime libraries are supported for use with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. Note these Microsoft product attributes:

As of the GA of Tools and Applications Release 9.2 these versions and their associated links and navigation are valid:

Visual Studio 2010 Redistributable

Microsoft.com > Downloads > Search > Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Tip: Some Microsoft Windows systems may already have Visual Studio installed, either manually or by some other Microsoft product installation. Users can determine if this version already exists in Control Panel > Programs and Features > Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable.

Visual Studio 2013 Redistributable

Microsoft.com > Downloads > Search > Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (x86)

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Visual Studio 2013 Download and Windows SDK

Note: You only need the Visual Studio 2013 download, which is a licensed product from Microsoft, if you plan on building packages on the Deployment Server. An additional package build requirement is the Windows SDK, which is a freely available program from Microsoft.

Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 8.1

Note: Although the SDK download is labelled as Microsoft Windows 8.1, the same download is applicable to both Windows Client 8.1 and Windows Server 2012. This SDK is specifically required for any Windows-based machine that is building JD Edwards EnterpriseOne packages.
