--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
I think there are RefCount controls that allow this if LibreOffice package
install was the source of the VC++ runtime. And that is it is correct MSI
behavior.  A subsequent install of LibreOffice should install it again-if
needed.

Meanwhile MS has moved VC++ support to the consolidated "Windows 10 Universal
CRT" multi-release replacing individual VC++ runtimes (2015, 2017, 2019) as
"latest supported"[1], and as delivered via MS update mechanisms.

@Mike, should/could we start to bundle the Universal CRT for the Windows
builds, or would that affect build infra?
