Description (last modified by historic_bruno)

As explained here, VS 2015 introduces the Universal CRT which is a component of Windows 10. Earlier versions of Windows must install update KB2999226, or the VCRedist package for VC++ 2015 (you already have it if you installed VS 2015). Windows XP users won't get the Windows update, so they must install the VCRedist package.

Another option is "app-local deployment", where we copy all of the UCRT DLLs from the Windows 10 SDK (although I tried this and it failed on XP; copying them from the vcredist package worked), alongside the rest of the game's binaries. There are 41 of them, but it's < 2 MB total:
