Direct link to VC++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable from custom installer


I have installer that contains vcredist_x86.exe / vcredist_x64.exe so if user machine does not have VC++ redistributable installed then I install it.

However, the size of vcredist_x86.exe / vcredist_x64.exe is quite large ~5MB, which may be a problem for a small application.

Is there a direct (and permanent) link to Microsoft site that I could use instead of adding vcredist files to my installer?

Or may be there is even better way to solve such problem?

P.S. I am aware that user machine would have to be online - this is OK.
