Redistributables for deploying C++ exe developed with Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 7

by

The VC++ runtime redistributables got more complicated in Visual Studio 2015. See the VC team blog post about the universal CRT. Basically, the merge module is insufficient:

There will not be a merge module for the Universal CRT. If you currently use the CRT merge modules and still want to deploy the Visual C++ libraries centrally, we recommend that you move to the above mentioned Windows Update package or to the VCRedist. Alternatively, you may choose to link statically to the Universal CRT and the Visual C++ libraries.
