Bug Report Visual C++ Redistributable Packages x64 Not Detected by Installer

[Nicholas Cantrell]

I downloaded and ran "OBS-MP-0.11.4-Installer" on Windows 10(64 bit) and it sent me to "http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784" to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages.

Problem:
-Installer directs browser to download page for several executables(x86, x64, and arm).
-vcredist_x64.exe installs successfully but is not detected by installer as satisfying the requirement.
(eg. successive install attempts just redirect to the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages website again)

Fix:
-Install vcredist_x86.exe instead.

Questions/Report:
-Is an x86 install actually necessary or just a consequence of the installer being too specific?
-Should the installer be more explicit in it's instructions that an x86 install is required?

I ended up figuring this out but some users may find this confusing.

If you are only going to use 64-bit obs then the x64 is enough. If you will be using the 32-bit obs you will also need the x86 one.

32Bit GameCapture would still need the 32Bit one AFAIK.
Like the 64bit GameCapture requires the 64Bit one when using the 32BIt OBS version.
