The Windows redistributables are so annoying as a user. I remember countless times applications used to ask me to visit the official Microsoft page for downloading them, and it was quite hard to find the right buttons to press to get the thing. Felt like offloading the burden to the users.


Many installers do it right and don't require the user to do it themselves.
