Windows 10: Visual C++ Redistributable Installation Directory

I have a long standing application built on Visual C++ 2008. Over the course of time, to help people who install it, we've implemented some "health checks" before installing to ensure C++ is installed on your system. What we're doing is checking in the %windir%\WinSxS\* directory for the folder/files present to make sure the .dll's are present on the system.We just tried installing this on a newer lab system, and have found that the C++ .dll's are installed in "C:\\Windows\WinSxS\Fusion" directory, which causes our application to produce a "false negative" response of "C++ isn't installed".C
