data are installed via NSIS scripting.The benefit of using the MSI to install the VS C Runtime components is that these redistributable objects are installed as a shared assembly with a single instance being installed on the machine for all binaries that are linked to it. The particular version of the assembly to be used is obtained via the manifest data linked to each binary. Therefore no confusion can be created by installing
copies of the C Runtime DLLs in a directory that is included in the PATH.
