Hi Wix Group,

We're struggling trying to get a 'fix' on the vc redistributable for 2019 for use in burn. Originally, we were using this location:

https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe

but that is no good, as it gets updated to the latest vcredist, and hence is subject to change.

We did find this link here:
https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/9307e627-aaac-42cb-a32a-a39e166ee8cb/E59AE3E886BD4571A811FE31A47959AE5C40D87C583F786816C60440252CD7EC/VC_redist.x86.exe

This was taken from here a list here:
https://renderdoc.org/vcredist_symbols/

Can anyone confirm that this is a solid link that will stick around and we can therefore use in Burn?

-Nick
