Question:
The Ritual of Honor: Understanding Seppuku and Harakiri In the complex tapestry of Japanese history, the practice of ritual suicide is a deeply evocative subject. Known by the terms and harakiri , this act was historically regarded as an ultimate expression of a samurai's adherence to Bushido , the warrior's code of honor. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they carry different linguistic nuances that reflect the gravity of the practice within Japanese society.

For those patient with slow cinema and heavy symbolism, Harakiri Seppuku is a masterpiece. For everyone else: bring a strong stomach and an open heart. Not a single frame is wasted. harakiri seppuku
(or colloquially Harakiri ) was a form of ritual suicide by disembowelment practiced by the Japanese samurai class. It was deeply rooted in Bushido , the warrior code, as a means to restore honor, atone for failure, or avoid the disgrace of capture by an enemy. 🗡️ Key Terminology The Ritual of Honor: Understanding Seppuku and Harakiri
The problem is with the "dependency". The only dependency is the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. The Chilkat .NET assembly is a mixed-mode assembly, where the inner core is written in C++ and compiles to native code. There is a dependency on the VC++ runtime libs. Given that Visual Studio 2012 is new, it won't be already on most computers. Therefore, it needs to be installed. It can be downloaded from Microsoft here:
Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012
If using a .msi install for your app, it should also be possible to include the redist as a merge-module, so that it's automatically installed w/ your app if needed.
Note: Each version of Visual Studio corresponded to a new .NET Framework release:
VS2002 - .NET 1.0 2003 - .NET 1.1 2005 - .NET 2.0 2008 - .NET 3.5 2010 - .NET 4.0 2012 - .NET 4.5The ChilkatDotNet45.dll is for the .NET 4.5 Framework, and therefore needs the VC++ 2012 runtime to be present on the computer.
Likewise, the ChilkatDotNet4.dll is for the 4.0 Framework and needs the VC++ 2010 runtime.
The ChilkatDotNet2.dll is for the 2.0/3.5 Frameworks and requires the VC++ 2005 runtime. (It is unlikely you'll find a computer that doesn't already have the VC++ 2005 runtime already installed.)
