Nothing here should be installed today.</p>
<p dir="auto">Build 3 shipped VC++ runtime DLLs that did not match the toolset the binaries were built with, and the service crashed at startup on fresh installs. This build corrects the installer payload.</p>
<p dir="auto">The detail: hMailServer.exe is built with v145 (14.51), but build 3 bundled VS2019-era (14.25) VC++ runtime DLLs app-local in <code>Bin\</code>. Those app-local copies were loaded instead of the system runtimes, and the service died at startup with 0xC0000005 in <code>msvcp140!mtx_do_lock</code>, reached via boost regex and <code>std::mutex</code>. Fresh installs were the ones affected.</p>
<p dir="auto">Changes in this build:</p>
<ul>
<li>The installer now ships Microsoft.VC145.CRT (14.51.36231), matching the build toolset. The stale Microsoft.VC142.CRT payload has been removed.</li>
<li>The bundled 2015-era UCRT has been removed. It has been in-box since Server 2016 and Windows 10.</li>
<li><code>build/run-tests.ps1</code>: fixed a stdout/stderr pipe deadlock in the test runner.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">The full regression gate ran against MariaDB on the MYSQL backend: 898 of 898 passed.</p>
