            Bug ID: 38476
           Summary: LLVM-7.0.0-rc1 Windows binaries are missing app-local
                    Universal CRT
           Product: Packaging
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: Windows Installer
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: sfinae at hotmail.com

Unlike the previous 6.0.0 release, LLVM-7.0.0-rc1-win32.exe and
LLVM-7.0.0-rc1-win64.exe are missing bin\api-ms-win-*.dll and bin\ucrtbase.dll
. I believe that this will prevent them from working on pre-Win10 OSes where
the Universal CRT hasn't been installed. (According to my understanding, Win10
and Server 2016 are unaffected as they inherently contain the Universal CRT;
clang-cl.exe successfully runs on my Server 2016 machine where ucrtbase.dll is
present, but where I have intentionally never installed msvcp140.dll.)

If LLVM has chosen to begin requiring the Universal CRT as a prerequisite (i.e.
requiring the corresponding Windows Update or the VCRedist to be installed on
pre-Win10 OSes), then this is by design, but I wanted to ask.
