GitExtSshAskPass.exe needs vcredist to work

[sebllll]

Feature description

I just had a hard time figuring out that GitExtSshAskPass.exe needs VCRUNTIME140.dll (which is installed through vc_redist.x86.exe ) to work.

Maybe there's an option for the installer to check for that dependency?

Another option would be to improve the error message.

Currently, this is the error message in the console:

C:/Program Files (x86)/GitExtensions/GitExtSshAskPass.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Done

I found this by executing GitExtSshAskPass.exe manually, which gave me this error message that lead me to the vcredist installler:

(sorry for the german error msg)
