As I mentioned, there's no "Latest VS 2015 redist" static link on their side. Only "VS 2015 redist version X.Y.Z", which is the same as embedding this specific version into installer. Also: at the time of creating the installer, we could possibly check that our embedded redist is ~current, so users would have reasonably low chance to get update request related to newly installed software (taking into account our rate of releases). OTOH, if a user chooses to download and install an out-of-date version, then it's not unexpected that, e.g., LibreOffice itself would warn about "newer version available"; so I don't see anything unexpected here on redist side as well. -- Best regards, Mike Kaganski _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
