msvc_runtime

✓ import msvc_runtime

The package name uses an underscore, not a hyphen. You cannot import with a hyphen.

Installs the MSVC runtime DLLs into the Python environment.

import msvc_runtime msvc_runtime.install() print('MSVC runtime installed')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaDo not import 'msvc-runtime' with a hyphen; Python module names cannot contain hyphens. The correct import is 'msvc_runtime'.

fix

Use 'import msvc_runtime' instead of 'import msvc-runtime'.

affects: all

deprecatedThe function 'msvc_runtime.install()' may be removed in future versions. Prefer installing via pip with the system MSVC redistributable.

fix

Consider using the official Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installer instead of this package for production environments.

affects: >=14.44

gotchaRunning 'msvc_runtime.install()' requires write permissions to sys.prefix. In virtual environments, this will fail silently or raise PermissionError.

fix

Run the install as administrator (Windows) or ensure the Python environment is not protected (e.g., not a system-wide install without admin rights).
