They are not there, unless I am in the wrong folder. I searched in
c:\windows\winsxs.

I have looked there, that is where I got the redist exe file which did
not work. I then went and got a copy of the file right from Microsoft,
but no luck there either.

I cannot distribute them. So you are saying to compile without the
dll, then run the redist file? I would much rather package everything
as this is meant to be a stand-alone app, runable from anywhere (even
a thumb drive on a computer on which you are a guest, like a hotel or
library machine). It is not meant to install anything or copy any
files, just run in memory and then close when the user decides to
close.
