Latest update wont work

Sometimes during the install this can happen. You can re-install the DLL file from here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

I downloaded version 1.5.01 and installed no problem. I downloaded 1.5.01 and windows see it as a threat and ask if I want to keep it. I have but when I try to install it’s now wanting to install microsoft visual C++2015-2022. Is they a problem with this patch release?

Thank you I had the same issue after updating lightburn. The program would not install. After installing from your link things seem to be working as should.
Many Thanks

1.5.01 update error

Update from Dev team this morning: Hi all - 1.5.01 for win64 is now fixed in the downloads. It’s not a new version, just replaced the download. It will have the right MSVC redist included now. Please download anew from the site and install again.

This is “normal”? I’ve never seen it before… Should it be installed first and then updated to version 1.5.01?
This is not very elegant guys.

It was added to address a C++ runtime dependency issue that some people were getting. Close out if you’re not interested in installing it.
