Known Issue: mgsipscan.exe process may fail during discovery operation on beacon without the x86 (32 bit) Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 installed (IOK-752777)

Summary

Discovery processes that run mgsipscan.exe on beacons may fail due to a missing a dependency on msvcr120.dll from the x86 (32 bit) Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013.

Details

If the Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 is not installed, attempts to run <Beacon install directory>\RemoteExecution\MgsIPScan\mgsipscan.exe processes will fail. Logging similar to the following will appear in the discovery.log file associated with the discovery process:
