They are redistributable and you have redistributable packages inside msvs directory.

Build with runtime of your choice, add corresponding package to your installer and don't bother - it will work. The difference is - they are installed in a different place now (but that is also where your app is going to look for libraries).

Otherwise, MSDN or basically any not-too-old book on windows c++ programming.
