Description
I am using openvpn 2.6.0 build to my application , this newer build wont run as it requires vcruntime140.dll.
I am trying to statically link vcruntime to my openvpn exe & I tried to change Runtime library to /MT.
Also I noticed there are other dlls also required vcruntime like libcrypto-3.dll , libssl-3.dll (Analyzed with dependency walker).
How can link all the exes and dlls to runtime.
(I don't want my app to depend upon Visual C++ Redistributable installation or it should be local to my app so user cant uninstall dependencies from separately )

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or build entry points. Start by locating the Windows build configuration for OpenVPN 2.6 and checking how the OpenVPN executables and OpenSSL DLLs select the Visual C++ runtime. Done means the shipped executables and DLLs no longer require a separately installed Visual C++ Redistributable, or the supported local-dependency behavior is documented.
