【Compatibility-Windows】CKB node needs specific version of Microsoft VC++ Redistributable to run，but the pop up window does not show which VC++ versions are available.

[silySuper]

For example：
1.After I installed this version，app still shows install VC++ pop up window.


2.But if I installed this version ,it is OK,not pop up window.

In my opinion,to help user easier to use this app,it is better to indicate which VC++ versions are available.

@Keith-CY Does the VC++ Redistributable have a minimum version requirement for ckb?
@Danie0918 How to more clear notice to users?

It's specified neither in CKB release note nor in Download from release. But a link in Download from release points to Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

Add minimum version requirements, if any.

By the way,I had this doubt before, but solved it by downloading the latest version. But this is always a threshold for users, as C++ is not a component that comes with the system, can we get rid of this dependency?

Downloading the latest version is the most versatile option.

Should we replace https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 with https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022? Or by another way to tell users to download the latest version?

The two links above will point to the same page, so replacing the links is unnecessary and we need to tweak the prompt text.
