Description
I see in the documentation [here](https://gregoryszorc.com/docs/python-build-standalone/20240224/running.html?highlight=vcruntime140+dll#windows) that the Windows distributions depend on the the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable due to `vcruntime140.dll`. I noticed, however, when I downloaded a few of the install-only msvc distributions, that this dll is included in the same directory as the executable, which, in my understanding, should be all you need.
Is this part of the docs still accurate? Is there still a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable dependency?
Thank you!
