Windows installation: extra step might be required #11

I found that "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio" is required to run the application on Windows 11 - ARM.

Otherwise I am faced with the following error: image

(Windows 11 ARM - using the Preview release 0.0.1)

This was quickly fixed by installing it from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version.

I recommend therefore to add in the readme the following text at the installation section:

Windows requires "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio" which can be downloaded here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version

Thanks for your suggestion, I added the instruction to readme.md.
