Description

@pjking07

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start a new instance of Windows Sandbox, execute the following in the Sandbox.
  2. Install volta 0.6.4 via the msi
  3. Open Command Prompt, execute volta -v

Expected Result

volta writes 0.6.4

Actual Result

We get a System Error from volta.exe:

The code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

Note: volta -v in Powershell fails silently

Impact

Volta won't run in this configuration.

Workaround

Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, then try again.
