Error:  VC++ download failed (connecting to host).

Your antivirus or firewall is blocking the installer from connecting to the 
internet. Download and install the VC++ library manually from 
http://rainmeter.net/redist/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.

I went ahead and downloaded it from ms's website, but maybe that's the
error message that should show up when people have this error instead
of just quitting the install immediately.
