Description
I tried to update Oracle VM from 6.140 to 7.06 155176 WIN and it kept failing because it said I needed Microsoft visual C++ 2019 Redistributable package installed. The program was closed when I tried to update it. I never had any issues updating it before. I am running windows 10 Pro I even unistalled the older version but that didn't work. I put the older version back and it is working.

Hello Bugg,
You need to download the latest supported redistributable from the following Microsoft web site: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170/
Install that redistributable before installing 7.0.6.
Hello VirtualBox team,
Please update that warning message to say to download the X64 version of the redistributable. I initially downloaded the X86 version and that failed to work.

I was curious why you stopped bundling MSVC Runtime into the installer with Merge Modules if it's required.
And was surprised to learn that actually, since VC++ 2022, MS now prohibits that with VC++ runtime license terms! https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/vs2022-cruntime/
