I may be missing things but why does vcredist_x86.exe have to be involved? 
Why would there normally have to be a separate download anyway?  To me, it 
seemed like LfW was working fine as it is. Was there some particular modules 
that were unusually demanding, or is it a Windows version issue?  It all 
feels like a step backwards.
