Summary :
When operating SAP kernels 720 EXT, 721 EXT or higher on Windows systems, a specific Microsoft C-runtime is mandatory. This dependency arises because the kernels utilize libraries such as MSVCP100.dll and MSVCR100.dll, which are not natively included in the kernel's installation. The absence of these C-runtime libraries can lead to system start-up failures, indicated by error messages regarding missing DLL files. Normally, SAP’s installation or upgrade tools cater to this requirement by installing the appropriate C-runtime. However, if a kernel is manually downloaded as an SAPEXE.sar archive, users must install the requisite C-runtime themselves using vcredist_XXX.msi found within the extracted archive. This process is critical for the proper execution of SAP systems on Windows.
