Hi,
Thanks so much for opening this ticket, and your diligence in figuring out the problem and posting back. I will definitely look into this and adjust the documentation and next release to include it.
Thanks again,

Hi,
I found the solution. Please add this to your documentation https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/vcruntime140dll-and-msvcp140dll-missing-in-windows/220f1caf-8eb9-413d-a7fe-1b13df1bfa5d, as it appears to be a larger bug in MS Visual C++. Perhaps you might consider adding the "new redistributables https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads" into the PGIS installer.

Hello,
First, thank you for putting this together. Second, the control panel is absolutely not launching QGIS or any of the other applications after install into a fast thumb drive. Is this a common issue for which there is a workaround?
Thank You,

Hi @tradealpha thanks for letting me know- I still don't think that installing Visual C++ is the only solution to these problems as I've definitely managed to get around it by copying dlls around, but I will try to reproduce on a clean system and come up with a definitive answer.
Hello, I find that PGis v 5.8 (QGis) need Visual C++. Previous version (5.6) work fine (without Visual C++). Is VC++ necessary?
I can't have Visual C++ in my work.
Thanks
@archaeogeek I encountered this error today, and copy dll into the folder does not solve the problem. The "correct way" to solve it should be install https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145.
BTW, this will also resolve #22 (closed).

Bring included changelog in line with repo changelog
See #41
Confirm that zip -FFv foo.zip --out fixed.zip
seems to resolve the issue so check when uploading 6.01
usbgis.zip downloaded with accompanying .md5 7b5cc4fa2621c0923805a3fcdd44d404
.md5 matches, file explorer (win 10) seems to open ok, Seems to be extracting ok with unzip (not done yet, still unzipping, guess slow usb stick, haven't used before)...
but unzip -t usbgis.zip reports errors in the file format
At least one error was detected in usbgis.zip.
warning [usbgis.zip]: 76 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [usbgis.zip]: reported length of central directory is
-76 bytes too long (Atari STZip zipfile? J.H.Holm ZIPSPLIT 1.1
zipfile?). Compensating...
error: expected central file header signature not found (file #71151).
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
