Windows 7 install requires MSVC 2015 Redistributable #1

Closed unlimitedbacon closed 5 years ago

See if we can get Rust to compile using an earlier version (whatever is shipped with Win 7). Otherwise include the redistributable in the Windows installer.

Here is an example of an installer that handles it automatically. https://github.com/Arlorean/Voxels/blob/master/Voxels.Setup/Bundle.wxs

I'm not sure if all rust apps require MSVC++ 2015, or if it is getting pulled in by one of the dependencies we are using. In either case, it does not seem like there is an easy way to get rid of it. The installer is now a bundle which handles installing the redistributable if necessary.
