    [vcrdist.exe]] is not a recommended redistribution method for the
    preceding files.  This package does not communicate error messages
    back to the program or user that is starting Vcredist.exe.
    Therefore, Microsoft highly recommends that programs starting
    Vcredist.exe first check for available disk space (approximately 10
    MB), read-only system files, administrator privileges, and a valid
    TEMP directory. The absence of any of these prerequisites can
    cause this package to incorrectly install some of the files onto
    the target system.

IOW, it doesn't solve the problem, although it may be a step on the way.
Would also add another ~2Mb to the download -- it ships stuff Python has no
use for (especiall the large MFC DLLs).
