Short roundup of the initial problem
We bundle the MS visual studio redistributable libraries package (vcredist) inside out windows NSIS package.
The path to the vcredist was hardcoded inside CMakeLists.txt, but it contains the MSVC version number, so every time Visual Studio gets updated the path changes.
What will change with this Pull Request?
The path to vcredist gets deduced dynamically from the path where the basic MSVC libraries are found by cmake.
