The Windows MSI includes release x64 redistributable DLLs from the selected
Visual Studio toolchain's VC/Redist/MSVC directory. These include the Visual
C++ runtime and vcomp140.dll used by whisper.cpp's OpenMP CPU backends.
They remain separate Microsoft components, not ShortsJet source code or
components licensed under the LGPL. No Debug runtime is redistributed.

RUNTIME-LICENSE.docx is the original Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2015-2022
license document; RUNTIME-LICENSE.txt is a readable text extraction.
RUNTIME-2026-LICENSE.docx/.txt contain the corresponding 2026 document and
extraction for builds made using Visual Studio 2026. SOURCES.txt records the
official document URLs and SHA-256 hashes. The selected toolchain determines
the shipped runtime version; both documents are retained for these two build
configurations. The original document retains its formatting and numbering.
