"" (2015) is a pivotal folk medley by Desi Slava (Деси Слава) that showcases her transition from a pop-folk ("chalga") icon back to her traditional roots in Bulgarian folklore . Released through the Planeta Official label, this medley—or kitka (literally "bouquet")—serves as a high-energy tribute to Thracian folk music, designed specifically for the horo , Bulgaria's traditional circle dance. 🎶 Musical Structure & Heritage On YouTube , it has amassed over 6
The track became a staple at Bulgarian weddings and national celebrations. On YouTube , it has amassed over 6.5 million views, cementing its place as one of the most successful folk revivals by a pop-folk artist.
The arrangement features a modern take on traditional sounds, blending heavy percussion with the gaida (bagpipe), kaval (flute), and accordion to maintain a danceable tempo.
The official music video, released in July 2015, emphasizes Bulgarian national identity.
The problem is with the "dependency". The only dependency is the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. The Chilkat .NET assembly is a mixed-mode assembly, where the inner core is written in C++ and compiles to native code. There is a dependency on the VC++ runtime libs. Given that Visual Studio 2012 is new, it won't be already on most computers. Therefore, it needs to be installed. It can be downloaded from Microsoft here:
Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012
If using a .msi install for your app, it should also be possible to include the redist as a merge-module, so that it's automatically installed w/ your app if needed.
Note: Each version of Visual Studio corresponded to a new .NET Framework release:
VS2002 - .NET 1.0 2003 - .NET 1.1 2005 - .NET 2.0 2008 - .NET 3.5 2010 - .NET 4.0 2012 - .NET 4.5The ChilkatDotNet45.dll is for the .NET 4.5 Framework, and therefore needs the VC++ 2012 runtime to be present on the computer.
Likewise, the ChilkatDotNet4.dll is for the 4.0 Framework and needs the VC++ 2010 runtime.
The ChilkatDotNet2.dll is for the 2.0/3.5 Frameworks and requires the VC++ 2005 runtime. (It is unlikely you'll find a computer that doesn't already have the VC++ 2005 runtime already installed.)
