Thanks!
I would say, distribute everything /except kernel32.dll/ (this one is always present on Windows)
ucrtbase(d).dll (Universal C Runtime) is always present on Windows 10, but not necessarily on older Windows versions.
BTW, ucrtbased.dll is the debug version of ucrtbase.dll (without 'd').
Alternatively, you might also try to link statically with the /MT option:

Incredibly helpful, thanks very much Christof. For now I'll be lazy and distribute on deken with the mess of libs ;)
