to which compiler should we step up to bundle with CB
Miguel Gimenez:
There are a lot of users (and potential users) that still use W7 (even XP). In the company I work for about 80 % of the OS are W7-64, there are one XP and one W7-32, only a few are W10.
- If you compile next release using the UCRT compiler they will have problems, unless the installer takes care of the needed MSW update.
- If you bundle the UCRT compiler, they will need to install the MSW update when deploying their software to pre-W10 systems.
IMHO, MSVCRT will be with us many years.

seems this works to for Win 7 (even that horrible Vista), only XP is out of the picture, which I really think is ok, we should drop old stuff some day.
Miguel Gimenez:
Also, whatever compiler is chosen must be properly detected. 20.03 had problems detecting the bundled compiler.
killerbot:
currently nightly detected it without issues for me.
ollydbg:
For me, I'm still using GCC with MSVCRT runtime. It works fine under Win7 and Win10. I haven't see someone using UCRT under Win7 before.
