Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime - portable application-local deployment

Copyright Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Unmodified retail x64 Microsoft.VC145.CRT files, version 14.50.35719.0,
from the Visual Studio Build Tools 18 VC/Redist/MSVC/14.50.35710 directory.
Hashes and exact names: portable_crt.json beside this notice.
bin/ carries the retail CRT DLLs; app/python/ also carries vcruntime140.dll.

This supplements app/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt: its statement that VC++ DLLs are
not included describes the installer payload. This portable wrapper adds only
the pinned retail runtime files; it does not run a system redistributable setup.
The Windows 10/11 Universal CRT and operating-system components are OS prerequisites.
Future portable releases must maintain and revalidate these local DLLs; they do
not receive central VC++ redistributable updates automatically.
Redistribution remains subject to the applicable Microsoft license terms and
the project's release review; this private development package is not clearance.
