I use Visual Studio to compile everything, so you will need that
library. I am providing the Microsoft Visual Studio redistributable in
the same website as the installer, but I think it will require admin
permissions to install.
I am releasing a new version soon. I will try to include the required
libraries as an option with the installer.

Besides the problem with these libraries, you can do that with the
installer I provide. It can be installed by users without admin
permissions.
Thanks for your feedback!
