Problem:

Typical warnings/errors on starting Spotfire Analyst with Lead Discovery extensions installed

Solution:

If you have installed Lead Discovery you may encounter the following alert on starting Spotfire Analyst:

This occurs if you have not installed the required Microsoft Visual C++ libraries.

Normally the installation is automatic but your Windows User Account may lack permission to install, in which case talk to your IT Team about installation.

Required versions for current and past Lead Discovery on x64 operating system:

Lead Discovery 8.2.2	Visual C++ 2017 x86 and x64	or	2015-2019 x86 and x64
Lead Discovery 8.2.1	Visual C++ 2017 x86 and x64	or	2015-2019 x86 and x64
Lead Discovery 8.2.0	Visual C++ 2010 x86 and x64	and	Visual C++ 2017 x86 and x64

If manual install is required the installers for the required versions can normally be found in the following path:

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\TIBCO\Spotfire\VERSION.X.X\Modules\Lead Discovery_X.X

(Local and Modules are hidden folders)

Here you will find VCRedist.X.X folder/s with the installers.

Please note if no versions have been installed, version 8.2.2 will install the 2017 x86 and x64 versions by default. If you require 2015-2019 versions install them prior to starting Spotfire Analyst.

2015-2019 versions are available to download here:

If you are unsure which versions you have installed, list the versions like so:

Control panel > Programs and Features

Viewing as a list and organising by name allows easy comparison.

Further errors such as the one featured below can also occur on startup:
