The IT-Services of our university insist in removing redistributables which are end of life / end of support from our computers for security reasons. This affects MS vcredist 2008 and 2010 which are required DLL's for Origins graphic export functionality (https://www.originlab.com/index.aspx?go=Support/DocumentationAndHelpCenter/Installation/Multi-userDeployment/MSIInstall#About%20Required%20Microsoft%20DLLs)
Is there any workaround to keep graphic export working without these DLL's or is there a chance that graphic export will be updated to work without these outdated DLL's?

Hi jungb_Basel,

We have removed VC redist 2010 but still require 64-bit VC redist 2008.
We are working on removing 2008.

Hi jungb_Basel,

Aside from the MS vcredist 2008 and 2010 issue, what kinds of image format would you need in general?

like
EMF? PNG? PDF? SVG? or what else?

In general we just need any high quality/high resolution graphic which can be used on other operating systems like mac os or linux to be imported there for publications. I expect PNG or SVG would be best.

Hi jungb_Basel,

Would you mind to help to check following as well?

Open Windows Explorer, go to folder
C:\Windows\WinSxS
search "msvcr90.dll" to see if it exists in any subfolder?

Hello minimax,
yes they exist in
x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.9625_none_508ef7e4bcbbe589
and in
amd64_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.9625_none_08e1c10da83fbc83
on Windows 10 where VC++ 2008 Redist has been removed and even on our new installed Windows 10 clients which have never seen VC++ Redist 2008 before.
Sounds interesting.

Hi jungb_Basel,

Thanks for the verification.

It seems that msvcr90.dll is essential to OS, while redist installs some other additional files.

Hopefully we can work out a solution so that Export Graph will work even without MS vcredist 2008 and 2010 in the next coming version (2022b).

But, we do not see workaround for the existing versions.

Thank you minimax,

that would make it easier for our users.
In between we found a workaround in copy and paste the graphic to a freeware like inkscape and export it there in required formats.
Best
