1460042 - Missing VCRUNTIME140.DLL on Windows 7/10 test workers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

On bug 1370636 we want to get the Wd jobs running on Windows but those currently fail because geckodriver, which is a Rust binary, cannot be loaded. By using an interactive task I was able to see that a dialog box pops-up with the failure that the file `VCRUNTIME140.DLL` cannot be found.

Here a recent comment from Rob on the other bug:

vcruntime is now installed on all windows test workers:
