I still get the Visual C++ Runtime error
M4 Mac
macOS 15.5
CrossOver 25.0.1
Heroic 2.17.2
I followed the instructions at https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Installing-Visual-C---Runtime#manual-installation, but it doesn't work. The Runtime popup just continues to appear. In fact, installing Runtime into the bottle changes the bottle type to Windows XP 64-bit.
I've tried the following versions of Runtime from the CrossOver search screen:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (14.0) Redistributable Runtime
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (14.0) Redistributable Runtime (64-bit)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable Runtime (64bit)

also, why arent you using the recommended c++ runtime?

Oh, is that the one I'm supposed to choose? The page I mentioned only says "Search for C++ Runtime and install the package"—so my search query was "C++ Runtime." The version you mentioned doesn't have 'runtime' in the title, so it never appeared. I'll try that later, thanks!

yeah, i think the wiki page might need an update
