`VCRUNTIME140_1.dll` lacks from `psqlodbc_x64.msi`

I'm not sure whether this could be a problem or not.

I have installed psqlodbc_x64.msi of REL-17_00_0006.
I have checked the dependencies (with Dependencies) of installed DLLs for a certain reason.

Only pgxalib.dll has a link to VCRUNTIME140_1.dll, which is not bundled in the psqlodbc folder. (While vcruntime140.dll is present)

I almost use psqlodbc with a Visual Studio 2022-enabled environment, so this won't be a problem for me.

The workaround is to install the Latest supported redistributable version downloadable from the MSFT site: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version

So do you think we need to bundle this or just document the requirement?

I apologize that I have no clear idea about how to deal with this issue.

I have looked at the installer build script.

https://github.com/postgresql-interfaces/psqlodbc/blob/main/installer/buildInstallers.ps1#L196

I could understand that this part has a potential issue. However, I cannot imagine how this can be fixed in my mind. The script is too hard for me to understand.

So my thought remains to just inform about this issue here.
