The current build dynamically links the CRT (e.g., MSVCRT.dll), causing the executable to fail on clean installations windows—due to missing runtime libraries. This leads to compatibility, deployment, and stability issues.
I propose statically linking the CRT (e.g., using /MT in MSVC) to embed the runtime directly into the binary.
Benefits:
-
Eliminates external CRT dependencies, enabling true standalone execution.
-
Simplifies distribution and improves compatibility.
