When releasing or publishing your Meeting SDK app, you need to:

Include SDK files from \bin
Include required Microsoft VC++ runtime libraries
NOT re-sign protected SDK files
Run cleanup command for upgrades

Required SDK Files

Development requires files from:

\lib - Link libraries
\h - Header files
\bin - Runtime DLLs

Deployment/Release only requires:

\bin - Runtime DLLs (copy to your app’s directory)

Protected Files (DO NOT Re-sign)

These files cannot be re-signed or have new digital signatures added. Doing so causes Error 105035 and fatal errors:

CptControl.exe
CptHost.exe
CptInstall.exe
CptService.exe
CptShare.dll
zzhost.dll
zzplugin.dll
aomhost64.exe

Solution: Skip these files in your code signing process during build/deployment.

Microsoft VC++ Runtime Libraries

You must distribute the appropriate Microsoft Visual C++ runtime libraries with your app.

x64 Architecture (Most Common)

Remove the bin/aomhost directory, then copy these DLLs to the same directory as SDK DLLs:

msvcp140_atomic_wait.dll
msvcp140_codecvt_ids.dll

Upgrade Installation

When users upgrade from an older version of your app, run this command with administrator privileges before installing the new version:

cptinstall.exe -uninstall

This ensures users who had an older package can use the share function normally.

Visual Studio Project Configuration

Output Directory

Set to the bin folder:

Configuration Properties → General → Output Directory: ...\bin

Include Directories

Configuration Properties → VC++ Directories → Include Directories: ...\h

Library Directories

Configuration Properties → VC++ Directories → Library Directories: ...\lib

Linker Output

Linker → General → Output File: Your desired .exe location

Debug Information (Release builds)

C/C++ → Debug Information Format: None

Deployment Checklist

Not done: Copy SDK DLLs from \bin to app directory
Not done: Copy appropriate VC++ runtime DLLs for your architecture
Not done: For x64/ARM64: Remove bin/aomhost directory
Not done: For x86: Copy runtime DLLs to both bin and bin/aomhost
Not done: Exclude protected files from code signing
Not done: Test on clean machine without Visual Studio installed
Not done: Include cptinstall.exe -uninstall in upgrade process

Common Deployment Issues

“Missing DLL” errors

Cause: VC++ runtime libraries not included Fix: Copy all required runtime DLLs to app directory

Error 105035

Cause: Re-signed protected SDK files Fix: Don’t sign CptControl.exe, CptHost.exe, CptInstall.exe, CptService.exe, CptShare.dll, zzhost.dll, zzplugin.dll, aomhost64.exe

Cause: Old CPT components still registered Fix: Run cptinstall.exe -uninstall before installing new version

App works on dev machine but not on target

Cause: Target machine missing VC++ redistributable Fix: Either bundle runtime DLLs or require VC++ 2019 Redistributable installation

Alternative: Install VC++ Redistributable

Instead of bundling DLLs, you can require users to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable:

Download VC++ Redistributable (opens in a new tab)

However, bundling the DLLs gives you more control and ensures compatibility.
