 :) Poor gk doesn't want to use DDG :) From the first page for
 `d3dcompiler_47.dll`:
 was - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3448565/d3dcompiler-dll-
 missing-fix.html,
 now - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4019990/update-for-the-
 d3dcompiler-47-dll-component-on-windows
 You can also search for the cumulative update of Windows 7 which silently
 adds `msvcr100.dll` to Windows components, but it's not good to use that
 dll at all, due to https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28935394
 /how-to-get-msvcr100-dll-version-10-0-40219-332-for-windows7.html and no
 support for #12968 (and many other reasons).
 FWIW, UCRT was added to Windows 7+ components in
 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c
 -runtime-in-windows
