-----------------------------------
> Allow users to build MSI with Universal C Runtime DLLs
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MINIFICPP-1375
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1375
> Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Marton Szasz
> Assignee: Marton Szasz
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.9.0
>
> Time Spent: 3h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> MiNiFi C++ fails to start on older windows versions that don't have the
> Universal C Runtime embedded or the respective update installed. Microsoft
> allows for the redistribution of these DLLs and they only take up about 2 MB,
> so we should allow users to include them in the MSI for private/internal use.
> The resulting MSI can not be redistributed under Apache-2.0, because the UCRT
> license is not compatible with Apache-2.0 ([Category
> X|https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x]).
> [https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/introducing-the-universal-crt/] (see
> point 6. near the bottom)
> Redistributable files list:
