Requirements

Devserver 17

  • Recent v14 runtimes require Windows 10/11. On older Windows versions, choose components and runtimes that explicitly support your system.
  • Free disk space depends on the installed components, projects and databases. Allow additional space for updates.
  • Install the Visual C++ runtimes required by each component’s build and architecture (x86/x64).

Devserver 17.0 Lite

  • Legacy edition for Windows XP to 8, with compatible legacy components.
  • PHP 5.2–5.4 only; recent PHP versions require the standard edition and a compatible Windows version.
  • Free disk space depends on the installed components, projects and databases. Allow additional space for updates.
  • VC9 / Visual C++ 2008 SP1 runtime, matching the component architecture (x86/x64).

Visual C++ runtimes

Match the build and architecture shown on your component. Older builds are included below for existing installations.

BuildVisual StudioMicrosoft downloads
VS17 2022 · v14 x86 x64
VS16 2019 · v14 x86 x64

VC10 2010 SP1 · 10.0 x86 x64
VC9 2008 SP1 · 9.0 x86 x64

x86 or x64?

Match the component, not just Windows: an x86 component needs the x86 runtime even on 64-bit Windows. Install both if you use both architectures.

VS17, VS16, VC15 and VC14

These builds use the v14 runtime family. Install a runtime at least as recent as the compiler used for the component.

Older builds and Windows versions

VC12, VC11, VC10 and VC9 need their own runtime; v14 does not replace them. They can coexist. The latest v14 package supports Windows 10/11; for older Windows, check Microsoft’s version-specific requirements.

No build listed? Check the installer documentation rather than guessing the runtime.
