This is absolutely baffling that you can't just make an api request and windows deals with installing those redistributables, must have seen that installer pop up close to 80 times in my life. I understand why maybe it was that way pre-internet but really they should have rolled it into windows and made it automatic by now if their dev tools team and windows team can't figure out how to just compile software on their own OS without shipping another bundle beside it.
