Checks for a redistributable and if it is not there installs all the common ones. Especially useful if users do not have local admin

Evaluation Code

$regkey = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Dependencies\{050d4fc8-5d48-4b8f-8972-47c82c46020f}"
$name = "Version"
Get-ItemProperty -Path "$regkey" -Name "$name" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    	If (($exists -ne $null) -and ($exists.Length -ne 0)) {
        	Exit 0
    	}  else { Exit 1 }

Remediation Code:
