Cause
Missing “Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable” package which is required for VMware VDDK 7.0 to function properly.
Solution
Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2:
Download and install Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows on the server where Agent for VMware(Windows) is installed.
If installing Update for Universal C Runtime does not resolve the issue, fownload and install “Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable” package from the latest supported Visual C++ downloads on the machine where Agent for VMware(Windows) is installed.
Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016:
Download and install “Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable” package from the latest supported Visual C++ downloads on the machine where Agent for VMware(Windows) is installed.
More information
Our development team is working on including the “Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable” package along with Agent for VMware (Windows) in future versions of Acronis software.
Acronis Agent for VMware (Windows) uses VMware VDDK 7.0 to work with VMware ESXi 6.5+ hosts.
VMware VDDK 7.0 supports installation onto Windows Server 2012 or higher (see VMware VDDK 7.0 release notes), therefore if you install Agent for VMware (Windows) onto lower Windows versions, then it will not be supported to work with VMware ESXi 6.5+ hosts.
