(In reply to Kumāra from comment #57)

LibreOffice installer for 6.0 (and 6.1, in a different form) *does* include the
files. In 6.0, it's the whole VC redist installer from comment 7, ~14 MB, that
is launched at the end of installation. The difference from all of (LO 5.4,
FireFox, Avast) is that 6.0+ does not put the files in LO's own directory, but
installs the component properly using its own installer. It is done not to save
space, but to ensure that system components (and ucrt *is* a system component)
are getting updates from the component's vendor. Otherwise, e.g. a security
treat may arise from a user unknowingly using unpatched version of ucrt in LO,
while the user might be sure that OS is fully updated (and not know that some
sw bundles older vulnerable copies of OS components).
