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

Description

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
