Running wireshark on a Windows 7 x64 machine after using this installer 
fails with a system error, missing "api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll".

But after I manually installed the same "redist" that I assumed was 
bundled with the installer the missing dll error is gone and Wireshark 
runs without issues on Win7. For reference this is the 
"vcredist_x64.exe" I used:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.23506

The installer offered to install "Wireshark" and "Wireshark 1" (and 
TShark, etc), which is weird... but no errors.
