VS2013 ...


Odd, is that VS2013 Express, VS2013 Community Edition or some other version?  I believe all versions except the Express, which has now been withdrawn by MS in favour of the Community edition, include the vcredist files so no download is needed.

What flavour of VS2013, and what do you have in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\1033"?

There is already a note in the docs (Sect 4.6.1) about other VS variants that discusses the vcredist files for VS2010 Express, but as there is no conceivable reason I can think of to not use VS2013 CE, then it's all rather historical.
