Terradata Connector fails with error "Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 Update 4 is required"

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Teradata connector (Qlik ODBC Connector package) fails with error "Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 Update 4 is required" 

Environment:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows , September 2018
• Qlik ODBC Connector Package , up to version 5.8.1

Cause:

Teradata connection in Qlik Sense is based on an ODBC driver developed by a third-party provider (Simba). Visual C++ Redistributable is one of the system requirements for this driver to function. 

Resolution:

Install Visual C++ Redistributable Update 4 (Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 ) in the Qlik Sense server.
