9, TEST

 

10, Get error:

     Access is denied

 

11, Upload dlls:

     msvcp120.dll

     msvcr120.dll

     Rotativa need component of "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio". I use version of 2013, and I can find it under my local via:

     C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\X64\msvcp120.dll

     C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\X64\msvcr120.dll

     You can refer above path on your local with your own specified path to find it.

     Upload them to "Rotativa" folder.

 

12, Finished.
