Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows

Describe the bug Without Microsoft Visual C Runtime installed, GView crashes. Statically link MSVCP should do the trick

To Reproduce Open Windows Sandbox, copy and paste the extracted release source and run GView.exe

Expected behavior Should work plug and play

The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages install run-time components that are required to run C++ applications that are built by using Visual Studio. We'll take into account statically linking these.
