    Description

      When using windeployqt with MSVC 2013, it will properly copy all of the Qt runtime files, but not the CRT runtime redistributable DLLs. It shows this warning:

      Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio redistributable in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist.

      Looking at the path in the warning, there are indeed no DLLs there:

      C:\Users\admin>dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist"
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 40B8-9C98

               5 Dir(s)  47,163,379,712 bytes free

      It seems that they're buried a few levels deeper (depending on the arch):

      C:\Users\admin>dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\redist\x64\Microsoft.VC12
0.CRT"

      windeployqt needs to start looking in the right place for the MSVC CRT DLLs.
