Crash in Forest Pack with Microsoft Redistributable v.14.50

[iToo]

A bug in the Microsoft Redistributable libraries v.14.50 may cause a crash in Forest Pack and other 3DS Max plugins.
The problem is being investigated by Microsoft, and we hope an update is available shortly.

Unfortunately we cannot fix the problem from our side, because it seems the code which triggers the bug may be also present in the 3DS Max code itself.

Until then, you can fix it copying the attached DLL (vcomp140.dll) in the 3DS Max root folder.

If you are curious, the problem is described in detail in the Microsoft forums (very technical).

Autodesk has published an article about this issue, with the same solution as the suggested by us.
