And you can add a message on the download page with a link toward MS DLL
downloading page.

If I can download Kate Setup, I can download MS DLL too. I don't want to
download a package that includes MS DLL because MS DLL is far always already
installed, because I want to distribute free softwares and not proprietary
softwares and because I prefer a smaller package. If MS DLL is really needed,
the installer can download and install it, it's a better solution than
including MS DLL that people rarely need to install.

MS DLL is included in Kate-setup-16.04.2-KF5.23-64bit.exe. It would be better
to firstly test if MS DLL is already installed and if not, download and install
it. The package would be smaller and quicker to download and the proprietary
software would be separated from the free software. PHPServer, Hexchat,
Shareaza and other free softwares are doing that, it's very convenient and
clean.

@Christoph Cullmann Your did not propose a solution at my questin : adding a
test in the installer, to verify if MS DLL is installed and if not, to install
it, like modern software using MSVC2015 are doing.

I'm using GNU/Linux since 2000 (now on Linux Mint MATE) and I'm doing a Windows
free software compilation for Windows users who want to test Windows free
software before switching to GNU/Linux : http://www.numopen.fr/compilibre-en
The problem is that more and more Windows free software authors add proprietary
code in free softwares (Blender, FAR, Pencil2D, Scribus, Wings3D) and sometimes
malwares, like in PDFcreator... They don't respect the free software spirit.

I tried, same problem.
Beware, there's a backdoor in Visual Studio 2015 :

Is it a false positive ?

This version is 16.04.1. The version I tested was 16.07.70 in the "About"
window (the file name was 16.04.1). Was it a more recent version ?
In the version I tested, MSVC++ 2015 was not included in the package, it is
included now. I think it's not a good solution to include it because we must
download it even it's unnecessary and because you put proprietary software into
a free software package. A good solution is to test if MSVC++ is already
installed and if not, download and install it, like Shareaza, PHPServer,
Hexchat, Handbrake... are doing.

Bug ID: 363596
   Summary: Kate needs Microsoft Visual C++ 2015
   Product: kate
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: MS Windows
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: general
  Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: david.vantyg...@free.fr

I installed Kate for Windows version 16.07.70 on Windows 7 Pro. I've got an
error (DLL missing) and this error disappears after installing Microsoft Visual
C++ 2015 64-bit.
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=48145
in the installer, could you test if this version of MSVC++ is already installed
and if not, download and install it ? It's very convenient because there's no
need to download and install it, I found this functionality in PHPServer,
Hexchat, Shareaza.
Some others free softwares include MSVC in the package but it's not a good idea
because then, we download it even if we don't need it and free software +
proprietary software in the same package is ugly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Kate for Windows
2. Look at the installed software in "Programs and functionalities"

Windows version 16.07.70 : https://kate-editor.org
A Trojan is detected by two different antivirus. Perhaps a false positive due
to the installer ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check Kate Windows version in Virustotal
