Description
It seems like the 2013 C++ redistributable is required to run any openframeworks project. Is there a way to have it only require 2015?

Research direction
Start by locating the Windows build and runtime dependency configuration for openFrameworks projects. Check why the Visual Studio 2013 C++ redistributable is required and whether projects can run with only the 2015 redistributable. Done means the dependency is reduced or the required redistributables are documented accurately.
