The nsis installer extracts and runs the MSVC runtime libraries installer before running the AOO installer. Since AOO is compiled with MSVC it requires these libraries are installed first. I don't know how TDF got rid of that step but possibly they are including the MSVC libraries needed in the program folder? Maybe AOO can do the same and skip the nsis installer?
