Can i distribute an executable with MSVCR100.dll

Question

I use python to create my executable on windows. My executable depends on MSVCR100.dll.
I want to give clients both the executable and the MSVCR100.dll.
Do I need special permissions to distribute my exe with the dll or is it fine to distribute the exe with the dll without special permissions.

Answer 1

You asked the wrong question, as you need to check if you are allowed to redistribute the Microsoft C++ Runtime Library (MSVCT100.dll is part of it).

Yes, you can. But read https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235299.aspx for details.
