Improve VC++ Redistributable installation logic

[Romanitho]

Refactored the prerequisite check for Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable to use architecture-specific registry paths and version checks. The script now determines the OS architecture dynamically, checks for the required minimum version, and only downloads and installs the redistributable if necessary. Improved logging and error handling for better clarity.

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the Visual C++ Redistributable prerequisite check to use a more robust architecture-specific approach. The refactored code dynamically detects OS architecture, performs version checking against registry values, and only installs the redistributable when necessary.

Key Changes:

• Replaced generic DisplayName-based registry search with architecture-specific registry path lookups using RuntimeInformation::OSArchitecture
• Updated minimum version requirement from 14.40.0.0 to 14.50.0.0
• Improved logging messages and error handling with more concise output
