This article is referred to the SAP Note 1553465 – Installation requirements for SAP Kernels on Windows (C++ runtime environment, VCredist versions).
Each SAP kernel has program dependencies on the Microsoft C/C++-runtime. Since the C/C++-runtime is not part of Windows and the SAP Kernel, the C/C++ Runtime (VCredist) must be installed before an SAP system can be started.
The C/C++ Runtime for Windows is delivered by Microsoft via the VCredist. There are several versions for the different Visual Studio compilers (for example 2005, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022). The C/C++ is backwards compatible since Visual Studio 2015. This means, for example, VCredist 2022 is sufficient to run applications that were built with Visual Studio 2015
Note:
It’s strongly recommend to always use the most current version of the C/C++-runtime packages from Microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
| SAP Kernel | VCredist |
|---|---|
| 722 | VCredist 2005 x64** |
| 722_EXT | VCredist 2010 x64** |
| 722_EX2 | VCredist 2013 x64 |
| 749 | VCredist 2013 x64 |
| 753 | VCredist 2013 x64 |
| 777 | VCredist 2022 x64* |
| 781 | VCredist 2022 x64* |
| 785 | VCredist 2022 x64* |
Additional Note:
- Since VCredist 2015 the C/C++-Runtime is backwards compatible. This means the SAP Kernel may also be executable with an older C/C++ Runtime library.
- SAP recommends rebooting the machine before resuming the installation procedure.
