After downloading Musescore, and attempting to open it, I'm met with a message that says...
"The application can not start because api-ms-win-crt-heap-I1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".
From there, I've tried to reinstall and repair, but I get the same message.

Maybe there is a way we can include this with the MuseScore package? IIRC it is avilable in the Qt installation, in C:\Qt\vcredist\vcredist_msvc2017_x{86,64}.exe
It'd add 14MB though
And get the Installer to install it if needed?
Came up again in https://musescore.org/es/node/295591
Isn't this a blocker? It's more of a Microsoft issue, but still a blocker.
And the downloadling from the microsoft page linked to in the initial post don't work anymore, see https://musescore.org/en/node/297179
We could distribute this as part of MuseScore, but it'd add 14MB to the download
Download from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-v… ?
Maybe it would make sense to add this download link (and, just in case, redistributable files themselves) to something like FAQ?
