 vcredist exe files need to silently fail also in 32bit platforms since
 these files are part of msvcrt2008 and msvcrt2010 packages which are not
 downloaded by the installer.

 binaries which is wrong. We need to fix this issue in the installer.

 vcredist exe files. Till now no such file has been launched by 64bit
 installer. We appearently need vcredist2013 for las issue but do we really
 need other (2008,2010)? And what about 32bit platform?

 AFAIR some time ago there was a change by Microsoft how they distribute
 their runtimes. at some stage only the exe were available, thus the exec
 in the installer.

 AFAIU we haven't sync'ed the nsis installer with the upstream osgeo4w
 changes regarding MS runtimes.

 which vcredist.exe-versions are needed depends upon the dependencies built
 upon.
