We are shipping binaries built with Visual C++ 2019 (latest 16.2.2 version).

These binaries are built with /MD (to use the CRT dlls).

They are built with the "Windows SDK version" set to "10.0 (latest installed version)" and the "Platform toolset" set to "Visual Studio 2019 (v142)"

For the linker options we set the "minimum required version" to the default.

In our code we set _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0601. (for Windows 7). We are not using MFC or ATL.

I know that Windows ships certain CRT dlls (ucrtbase.dll for example) but can anyone tell me (based on the settings and things above whether the versions of Windows we target do or don't include the CRT dlls, which dlls are or aren't included with those versions of Windows and which, if any, CRT redistributable we should be shipping and installing to ensure our users have all the right dlls?
