Installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 C/C++ runtimes in a server fix pack
From IBM® MQ 8.0.0, Fix Pack 11, some elements of IBM MQ require the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 C/C++ (VS2013) runtimes. If the VS2013 runtimes are not present on the machine, they are installed when you install a fresh client or server, upgrade an earlier release to these levels, or apply a fix pack. In most cases, the installation of the runtimes does not require any manual intervention. However, if the installation fails when you are applying a server fix pack, you can set the IBM_MQ_SKIP_VS2013 environment variable so that you can install the runtimes manually instead.
IBM_MQ_SKIP_VS2013 environment variable
The IBM_MQ_SKIP_VS2013 environment variable is provided in case there is a problem with the runtime installation provided by the patch applier, amqicsdn.exe.
You can optionally set IBM_MQ_SKIP_VS2013 before the applying the IBM MQ server fix pack to influence the installation of the VS2103 runtimes. Setting IBM_MQ_SKIP_VS2013 to any value causes amqicsdn.exe to skip the installation of the VS2103 runtimes.
- Install the runtimes yourself.
The Microsoft redistributable runtime installers can be downloaded from the Microsoft web site, or can be found in the loaded fix pack files at the following (default) location: C:\Program Files\IBM\source\MQ 8.0.0.11\prereqs\VS2013.
- Set IBM_MQ_SKIP_VS2013 (to any value).
- Rerun amqicsdn.exe.
