You are right, my bad! They are indeed contained in the redist folder. It has 
been so long that I have seen the MSVC launched that I assumed that it is no 
longer used.

If Windows 10 does not include the needed MSVC libraries (can anyone confirm?) 
then unfortunately AOO still needs the initial unpack folder (although it could 
be unpacked to a temp folder and deleted after install, as you mention in
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127628#c2 )

Since the temp folder is only needed for first install (all msi files are 
backed up by Windows) would it be possible to change the default command to 
POSTREMOVE=ON ?

Regards,
Pedro
