C++ 2017 redistributable breaks libsass

[ChaosYoda]

The C++ 2017 redistributable replaces 2015 and that breaks libsass.

Previously where bootstrap.sass files compiled correctly it now failed with "File to import not found or unreadable: Modules/variables.
On this line.

@import "Modules/variables";

Nothing has been changed to any sass file.

Using

LibSassHost version v1.1.4 (was on 0.5.0) upgrading did not help
LibSassHost.Native.win-x64 v1.1.4

Hello!

In documentation clearly written:

Requires api-ms-win-core-*.dll, api-ms-win-crt-*.dll, concrt140.dll, msvcp140.dll, ucrtbase.dll and vcruntime140.dll assemblies from the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable.

In case of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: 2017 version (or higher) can't replace the 2015 version.

File to import not found or unreadable: Modules/variables.

But, most likely, this error caused by something else.

Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable: 2017 does replace 2015. But it was due to a folder that was moved, upgrading to v1.4 gave a better error that helped find this issue over v0.5.0

Hello!

Since version 1.2.6 the MSVC runtime was embedded into the native assemblies for Windows. Now you do not need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.
