Problem

The current aka.ms URLs for Visual C++ 2013 redistributables defined in SOFTWARE.ps1 (https://aka.ms/highdpimfc2013x64enu and https://aka.ms/highdpimfc2013x86enu) are not working and just redirecting to bing.com search site, causing installation failures for Visual C++ Runtime 2013 during the AtlasOS playbook execution.

Solution

Updated to use direct download.visualstudio.microsoft.com URLs that provide working downloads:

• x64: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/10912041/cee5d6bca2ddbcd039da727bf4acb48a/vcredist_x64.exe
• x86: https://download.visualstudio.microsoft.com/download/pr/10912113/5da66ddebb0ad32ebd4b922fd82e8e25/vcredist_x86.exe

Both URLs provide Visual C++ 2013 version 12.0.40664.0 and have been tested to work correctly.

Changes

• Updated src/playbook/Executables/SOFTWARE.ps1 with the new download URLs
