Indeed. With one difference, though: in the installer I provided, the
bundling allowed to install a fully working octave without administrator
rights, as a simple user; while using the MS VC++ runtime dll redistributable
installer, you need administrator rights. This is a big advantage when you
don't have full control on your computer (again, this is common in industry).
