ITM Windows Agent to use latest VC++ redist version which is currently supported by Microsoft and remove dependency of using VC++ 2008, 2013

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently ITM Windows OS Agent (NT) is using VC++ 2008 release up to SP5 and VC++ 2013 release from SP6 and above. Both VC++ releases were no longer supported by Microsoft which results in compliance Issue and can also be a security threat.

So, we are looking for a new release of ITM Windows OS Agent (NT) which will use the latest VC++ redist version which is currently supported by Microsoft and it should also remove the dependence of using VC++ 2008, 2013 release versions which are out of support now. That will make the ITM Windows OS Agent (NT) Complient.

    BOARD COMMENTS:

    From @Kostas Saipas

    “This work is dependent on an internal component called GSKIT which has been delayed. So now we expect GSKIT to be released some time in Q4 2025 at the latest. We will hopefully get it earlier but we don’t have a firm date yet so we cannot commit to that. As soon as we get it, we will uplift our existing GSKIT and this will allow to also uplift the VC++ libraries as well.
