I ALREADY HAVE A NEWER VERSION INSTALLED!!!

LibreOffice IGNORES my NEWER VC++ and STILL installs the OLDER version
included. It's a waste of time and resources.

I understand that it is the version you are supposed to distribute. BUT it
still needs a CHECK because there are NEWER security fixes.

If you prefer to ignore this, it's fine with me.
