For people with vcredist_x86 problems

Yes, sort of. If you look in c:\windows\winsxs\ you'll see all the runtime libraries, each stored in their own directory. For example, I have multiple versions of msvcrt.dll, stored in two directories called:

x86_microsoft-windows-msvcrt_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_cf1e7424a1fb0cd9
x86_microsoft-windows-msvcrt_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_d15536209ee61dad

The applications contain information that tell them what version they need, and they look for the appropriate directory.

Thanks. I will now remove the word 'apparently' from the notes
