Probably the safest place to link to is the Microsoft Download Center.
Go to http://download.microsoft.com, search for (e.g.) "Visual C++ 200x" and 
you will get a list of results.
Locate what you need in here and click on download - most of these "download" 
links will open a new page for the download to confirm it.
Copy the real download URL from the "Start download" link in this new page.

Subject: [WiX-users] vcredist_x86.exe Package DownloadUrl
 
I was using a DownloadUrl from Microsoft as a burn package. Today, this url
no longer exists.

Is there an official site Microsoft will maintain or do I need to copy this
file to my server? Can I legally post it on my server?

I notice some use this url:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=210621

Is this safe to use without changing?
