In the future, could it be possible to correct these details ? But it's now ok for this version
Sure it's a by product of the different versions using a different compiler. Not fundamentally, just my build process

Wouldn't this be evil? Just imagine you have installed another application before or after FreeCAD that needs exactly the same vcredist version. If the uninstallation of FreeCAD removed it too then the other application suddenly won't run any more.
Maybe we could add a command line only switch? Presumably sys admins would be using this, and they would know what they are doing?
I've seen
issue 2516 as well. I think we could check if the redist is installed and not run the redist.exe. I'm personally against being online for an install a requirement, so what's the point?
@mayer, you can assign this issue to me but I'd like your opinion on what the compromise solution might be.
Maybe we offer a .7z of the release, then anyone can do anything they want, FreeCAD on Win is portable. And offer an installer for the typical Windows user that just wants to double click and be done with it?
