Description

Sometimes third-party programs will need to update Visual C++ 2013 .
But then they cannot launch ica session anymore as VDA becomes unregistered.

Resolution

Workaround

Install the missed Visual C++ 2013 and better to upgrade Visual C++ 2013 to the latest version 12.0.40649.5 to prevent the future issue.

For a long term solution, we will replace the Visual C++ 2013 version in the installation package.

Problem Cause

It is the known issue for the Visual C++ 2013 in our VDA
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3138367/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package
 

  • When you install an updated redistributable package, binaries for non-target architectures are removed. For example, after you install an update for an x86-based application, the x64 Visual C++ 2013 runtime libraries are missing. This fix makes sure that both versions of the Visual C++ redistributable are visible when you add or remove programs after installation of the update.
VDA cannot work normally if we miss the any version of the Visual C++ 2013.
