TSVN uses the merge modules to install the c-runtime. That's why you don't 
see that in the 'installed apps' screen.

which means if newer files are really overwritten then that's a bug in 
those msm files from MS.

However I see that using MSM for distributing the c-runtime is deprecated 
now, so we might have to change the installer some time in the future. 
(note that msm are deprecated, but still supported so they must work or MS 
must fix them).

Also, there can be multiple versions of the c-runtime be installed, and 
programs will automatically use the correct version.
