How can I download C++ Redist 2013 12.0.21005 if it's still under support?

Dear All,

I am resolving a case related with C++ Redistributable Packages compatibility.

One of our app. crashes on Windows 7 and throws an error of MFC80.dll.

DLL Path:

C:\windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft.vc80.mfc_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_none_cbf5e994470a1a8f\MFC80.DLL

What I already know is that, on the specific machine, there are too many redist packages installed :

Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) (12.0.21005.1)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64) (12.0.21005.1)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable (10.0.40219)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable (10.0.40219)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 (9.0.30729.6161)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 (9.0.30729.4148)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 (9.0.30729.6161)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 (9.0.30729.4148)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) (8.0.61000)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (x64) (8.0.50727.42) - Actually its 2005 SP1 ALT Sec Update, 8.0.50727.6195 isnt shown in Program list.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (8.0.59193)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (8.0.61001)

Our app. works fine without these installations. I suspect this is compatibility problem and I am trying to re-create this issue in virtual environment. I already installed 2005,2008,2010 redist packages and I failed to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) 12.0.21005 from Microsoft Official Site.

- So I would like to know if this version 12.0.21005 is still under support?

- If the answer is Yes, then how can I download this older installation pack?

Thanks a lot,

Jiaqi
