The Visual Studio baseline remains 2013 at 5.2, and Christian's TB62 and
release builds, Kendy's TB39 and Thorsten's TB42 all bundle the 2103 MS VC++
redistributable runtimes in the appropriate 32bit/64bit flavor.

But when testing and performing an "in parallel"  /a administrative
installation, e.g. using the SI GUI, does not install the VC++ runtimes. The
runtimes are packaged with the build in the System folder, but they are only
installed with a full installation.

So as FLorian notes the appropriate runtimes *must* be installed, but are
more often already present on a system.

Should you need the runtimes to work with /a administrative parallel
installs of earlier releases they are available from Microsoft at these
