      Qt 5.9.3

    Description

      I'm getting this error when running windeployqt

      windeployqt --compiler-runtime myapp.exe
...
Warning: Cannot find Visual Studio release redistributable files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\redist\MSVC\14.12.25810.

       

      Although these files are inside that directory:
      C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Redist\MSVC\14.12.25810

      vc_redist.x64.exe

      vc_redist.x86.exe

      I see someone else on the forums also encountered this issue recently.
