pet.exe depends on vcruntime140.dll

[per11235813]

Hi,

Running VS code 1.113 on Win 11

pet.exe in ms-python.vscode-python-envs-1.26.0-win32-x64 depends on vcruntime140.dll. This breaks python environment detection. The error message is available in VS code, but difficult to locate.

Installing Visual C++ v14 Redistributable required admin rights, which is not generally available on enterprise PCs. Copying vcruntime140.dll into the path solves the problem, but is clumsy.

Would be possible to link pet.exe statically to prevent this to keep VS code and python fully functional without admin rights?

Best regards,
Per

We had the static crt flag. But looks like it was not getting applied correctly. Created a new PR #407
