Required action before installing 7.1 service packs available after April 2, 2012 and before SI67278
If you are installing Service Pack SI67278 or later, you do not need to follow the steps below. Beginning with SI67278, the dependency on Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 has been removed.
All IBM i Access for Windows service packs available after April 2, 2012 and before SI67278 require that you install Microsoft security update(s) before installing the Access service pack. The update(s) specifically address security concerns involving Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1. While we do not believe there is an existing security exposure to any current or previous client service packs, IBM is following Microsoft's recommendation and will, therefore, require this security update to be applied before installing the client service packs.
Download and install the correct vcredist_XXXX.exe file for your system.
NOTE:
If you have a 64 bit system, in addition to installing the correct vcredist_XXXX.exe file for your 64 bit system, you will also need to install vcredist_x86.exe (32 bit version) since IBM i Access for Windows will run both 32 and 64 bit executables on a 64 bit PC.
The Microsoft security update can be found at the following location:
(Note: There is a drop down box labeled "Change language." Select the appropriate language for your installation.)

You may install this update any time before installing the next service pack for IBM i Access for Windows. The update is compatible with existing versions of IBM i Access for Windows. Please make plans to have this update applied before installing the next service pack.
