AIO Repack for latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes, without the original setup bloat payload.

Built upon VBCRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe by @ricktendo64

All I can see is binary blobs built from other binary blobs (original stuff from MS). Where are any sources like build script? How can anybody re-create the same AIO installer from the original MS installers likned in the source links?

Modifying and slimming msi files require specific vbs scripts and some manual editing with InstED or Orca. extracting vcredist 2012 and later require WiX v3 Toolset. there is no ready or automated build script.. yet. Maybe in near future.

the included batch scripts can be easily reviewed

Okay, I guess. You can still communicate the process for better transparency.

Included with what exactly? I see no bat scripts in the repo and in the releases.

It's self-extracting 7z archive, you can open with 7-zip or alike to see contents
