Thanks for doing this.

Thanks for the confirmation.

That's the problem. If there were, they'd be bundled with the LDC 
Windows packages, so that LDC on Windows wouldn't require a 
Visual C++ installation anymore and just work out of the box.
To avoid confusion: we're talking about the static and import 
.lib files of the Visual C++ runtime & Windows SDK, not about the 
redistributable DLLs.

The libs on DropBox are from Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, while 
the LDC 1.8 druntime/Phobos libs have been compiled with latest 
VS 2017, so this divergence could become problematic at some 
point.
