When compiled with Visual Studio:
If compiled in static mode (with C/C++ -> Code Generation -> Runtime 
Library  set to Multi-threaded  (/MT)) it works without installing the 
redistributable runtime dll.
If compiled in dynamic (DLL) mode (with Runtime Library flag above set 
to Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) it does not work, unless this runtime dll is 
installed.

By default spice vdagent-win is compiled with /MT in "Release" builds.
