MSVC Direct DL Links

Visual Studio C++ Runtimes:
These are the latest (that I know of) versions publicly released.

They have not been modified or repackaged in any way, but they HAVE been renamed in order so they don't all overwrite each other or start adding "(1)" "(2)" etc to the filename and so it's easier to know exactly which Edition is being installed.

Additionally, they are being hosted via DropBox as the MS links appear to be expiring or flat out resulting in a "404" on older versions.
All of these Editions are for English/US; but -should- work on non-US/English systems.

\**/
All 32bit versions of Windows needs ONLY the x86 files installed.
All 64bit versions of Windows must have BOTH x64 -and- x86 files installed.
