QTextPad Visual C++ runtime prerequisite note

For managed QTextPad deployments, stage the Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable for x64 before installing or updating the Windows build. This is most useful on clean images: a failed first launch or update can be a missing VC++ runtime rather than a bad QTextPad package.

Use the project’s official repository as the application source and Microsoft’s supported redistributable page for the runtime: QTextPad on GitHub and latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads.

Close QTextPad before running managed updates. The Windows EXE package can return Exit Code 5 when QTextPad is open during update, so deployment scripts should stop the app or prompt for closure before invoking the installer.

The project source and releases are maintained at the official QTextPad GitHub repository: github.com/zrax/qtextpad.
