@farcop I've been aware of this problem. Right now we need to install MSVC
DLLs to run Fluent Bit, which is somewhat cumbersome.

My current idea is to static link them to fluent-bit.exe, so that we can run the
executable on systems without required DLLs. I'll find some time to work on this
issue, so wait for me.

@farcop FYI, I have posted a fix for this issue to #2170 .
A test build is available on https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/issues/960#issuecomment-626422545.

I appreciate if you can test it and see if it works for you.
